The Boundary Tracing algorithm
The Boundary Tracing algorithm [1,2] makes use of the fact that there won't be
areas of one color "inside" areas of a different color. This means, that if
you trace the boundary of a region of a single color, then all the pixels
inside that area will have that one color also. In the left image below only
13% of pixels are calculated and all the rest are simply flooded. But it is
evident, that you can get wrong picture (to the right) for very large scale.
