Connected component support for image analysis programs
Alberto M. Biancardi, Alain Merigot · 1996
This paper presents a new scheme for software support of image analysis. It extends the data parallel programming model with the notion of connected component. Thanks to a graph based model, called associative nets, connected component manipulations can be expressed in terms global object-based transformations. This model has been embedded in the Pacco interactive image analysis environment and allows flexible handling of regions and contours, as illustrated by a set of examples.
