Abstract

Connected components labeling of a binary image is one of the important operation in image processing. This paper proposes a new connected component labeling algorithm to label the connected components based on 4 connectivity and reports the number of components present in the binary image. This algorithm is based on the position value of the foreground pixel of the image. The connected components are identified are assigned by a unique label. Experiments are conducted by applying proper thresholding technique on various images from the datasets collected and tagged by the ICDAR Robust Reading Dataset Collection Team
