Abstract

A modification of the linear quadtree, the threaded linear hierarchical quadtree (TLHQT), is proposed for the computation of geometric properties of binary images. Since most of the algorithms used in connection with computation of geometric properties require frequent exploration of adjacencies, a structure that keeps permanently in memory some adjacency links is introduced. Some results obtained by using the TLHQT for labeling connected components and for evaluating the perimeter and Euler's number in a quadtree environment are presented. The performance of the TLHQT is discussed.
