We present a summary of our work in progress related to mathematical formulae recognition. Our approach is based on the structural construction paradigm and two-dimensional grammars. It is a general framework and can be successfully used in the analysis of images containing objects exhibiting rich structural relations. In contrast to most of all other known approaches, the method does not treat symbols segmentation and structural analysis as two separate processes. This allows the system to solve arising ambiguities more reliably. We have already implemented pilot studies for the off-line as well as on-line mathematical formulae recognition showing that the proposed method can be effectively implemented and practically used.
