Problem B

The Image Detection Project This project will require you to create a computer program that will implement one of the necessary algorithms to count the number of objects in an image: the hole counting algorihm. This is the process of finding "holes" in a binary image (an image where each pixel is either black or white). The number of holes H is defined as the number of external edges E minus the number of internal edges I divided by 4: E-I Edges are groups of 4 pixels where one pixel is different from the other three. External edges look like this: And Internal edges look like this: See if you can count the edges in this small image, and apply the formula to find the number of holes: The Image Detection Project This project will require you to create a computer program that will implement one of the necessary algorithms to count the number of objects in an image: the hole counting algorihm.
