Interior-defined regions, flood-fill algorithms, and a simple 4-connected region filling algorithm are presented together with their properties. An algorithm for region filling using two-dimensional grammars is also presented together with illustrative examples. The results obtained in this article may have useful application in intelligent systems, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, expert systems, knowledge engineering, pattern recognition, pictorial databases, and related areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
