An algorithm vision based page segmentation algorithm will be implemented in this system to extract the data from multiple websites and will be displayed in new website. By using this algorithm, the web page is segmented into several big blocks. These block tree is constructed by using DOM (document object model) tree. After that the data is searched using the nodes.
