Multi-Label Connected Components in MatLab

This repository contains a MEX wrapper for Ali Rahimi C++ implementation of fast, multi-label connected components.

Building

Open MatLab (tested with 2015b on Ubuntu 14.04):

>> mex sp_fast_connected_relabel.cpp
Building with 'g++'.
Warning: You are using gcc version '4.8.4'. The version of gcc is not supported. The version currently supported with MEX is
'4.7.x'. For a list of currently supported compilers see: http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/current_release.

MEX completed successfully.

Usage

For simplicity, the function operates on matrices of type double (i.e. mxDOUBLE_CLASS), therefore, the image has to be converted to double:

>> image = imread('checkerboard.png');
>> labels = sp_fast_connected_relabel(double(image));
>> imshow(uint8(labels)*10)
>> imwrite(uint8(labels)*10, 'checkerboard_components.png');

The output can be seen below:

Example: checkerboard and connected components of checkerboard.
