  • Abstract
    A constant-time algorithm for labeling the connected components of an N×N image on a reconfigurable network of N3 processors is presented. The main contribution of the algorithm is a novel constant-time technique for determining the minimum-labeled PE in each component. The number of processors used by the algorithm can be reduced to N2+(1d/), for any 1⩽d⩽log N, if O(d) time is allowed
