Detailed Description

an algorithm that computes connected component labeling

an algorithm that computes connected component labeling for 1D, 2D, and 3D data. The components are computed from a binary segmentation provided on the input.

the input binary segmentation is labeled and stored in a variable named by the component_variable property. the component ids are added to the output dataset metadata in an key named 'component_ids', and the number of components is stored in a key named 'number_of_components'. These keys facilitate further processing as one need not scan the labeled data to get the list of label ids.

The cells outside of the segmentation (i.e. the background) are always assigned the label 0. The cells belonging to connected regions inside the segmentation are labeled starting from 1 up to number_of_components - 1.

output keys:

number_of_components - number of component ids found. this will always be
                       at least 1 long as the cells outside the segmentation
                       are assigned the label 0.

component_ids - a vector containing the label of each component. This is
                always starts with 0, where the label 0 identifies cells
                out side of the segmentation, and ranges up to
                number_of_components - 1, where the labels from 1 up to
                number_of_components - 1 identify connected regions of
                cells inside the segmentation.

background_id - the label used for cells outside of the segmentation,
                i.e. the background. always 0.
