Abstract

The problem of reconstructing a discrete set from its horizontal and vertical projections (RSP) is of primary importance in many different problems for example pattern recognition, image processing and data compression. We give a new algorithm which provides a reconstruction of convex polyominoes from horizontal and vertical projections. It costs atmost O(min(m, n)2 ċ mn log mn) for a matrix that has m × n cells. In this paper we provide just a sketch of the algorithm.
