• Fast connected-component labeling (2009, methodology): “Such algorithms had been considered to be efficient only for simple images, but not for complicated images, until Chang's contour-tracing algorithm [23] was proposed.”
• Digital Topology and Geometry in Medical Imaging: A Survey (2015, methodology): “Another efficient algorithm for component labeling uses contour tracking, where the identification of a connected component is carried out by tracking its contour [144].”
