Fast connected component labeling algorithm: a non voxel-based approach
M. Dolors Ayala Vallespí, J. Emilio Rodriguez-Seco, A. Aguilera · 2002
This paper presents a new approach to achieve connected component labeling on both binary images and volumes by using the Extreme Vertices Model (EVM), a representation model for orthogonal polyhedra, applied to digital images and volume datasets recently. In contrast with previous techniques, this method does not use a voxel-based approach but deals with the inner sections of the object.
