  • What is a Blob?

In this section we explain what are blobs, how to generate a grid of them, and how to count them. This problem is often encountered in image processing. We consider an image as a rectangle made of pixels, where each pixel is turned on or o , that is each pixel can be black or white. We will model such an image by a grid a characters, where a black pixel is indicated by the presence of letter X in the approriate position, and a white pixel is indicated by the presence of a dot in the relevant position. An important problem in image processing is identifying and labelling connected component of pixels, or blobs.

By de nition, a blob is a contiguous collection of X’s. For example, the grid below contains four di erent blobs which have been outlined.

CSC301 Introduction To Software Engineering (

Our goal is to create an application that given a grid, counts and reports the number of blobs. In order to enable you to test, we have provided in the starter code a blob generator.

We have represented a grid internally as a two-dimensional array of boolean values, with true indicating a blob character, and false indicating a non-blob character

  • Counting Blobs

In order to successfully count blobs, let’s make the following observations:

A single X character surrounded by non-blob characters is a blob, and, if we have a blob larger than one character, removing a blob character, what remains is again a blob. (What kind of de nition is this?)

Once we have identi ed all characters that do belong to a particular blob, we want to mark them so they do not get counted twice.

A possible solution is to maintain a grid of the same size as the original grid, tentatively called marked, which is going to be used to mark individual cells of the original grid if and only if:

The location does exist; that is it is not outside the boundaries of the grid. The location does contain a blob character.

The location has not already been visited.

Please complete the code for the countBlob() method as required in the starter code.
