+## Algorithm
Assume black pixels are one and white pixels zero, and that the input image is a rectangular N by M array of ones and zeroes. The algorithm operates on all black pixels P1 that can have eight neighbours. The neighbours are, in order, arranged as:
-
- | P9 | P2 | P3 |
- | P8 | P1 | P4 |
- | P7 | P6 | P5 |
-
+$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
+ \\hline
+ P9 & P2 & P3\\\\ \\hline
+ P8 & \boldsymbol{P1} & P4\\\\ \\hline
+ P7 & P6 & P5\\\\ \\hline
+\end{array}$$
Obviously the boundary pixels of the image cannot have the full eight neighbours.
-
- - Define $A(P1)$ = the number of transitions from white to black, (0 -> 1) in the sequence P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P2. (Note the extra P2 at the end - it is circular).
- - Define $B(P1)$ = the number of black pixel neighbours of P1. ( = sum(P2 .. P9) )
-
+- Define $A(P1)$ = the number of transitions from white to black, ($0 \to 1$) in the sequence P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P2. (Note the extra P2 at the end - it is circular).
+- Define $B(P1)$ = the number of black pixel neighbours of P1. ($= \\sum(P2 \ldots P9)$)
**Step 1:**
All pixels are tested and pixels satisfying all the following conditions (simultaneously) are just noted at this stage.
-
- - The pixel is black and has eight neighbours
- - $2 <= B(P1) <= 6$
- - $A(P1) = 1$
- - At least one of P2, P4 and P6 is white
- - At least one of P4, P6 and P8 is white

+4. At least one of $P2$, $P4$ and $P6$ is white
+5. At least one of $P4$, $P6$ and $P8$ is white
After iterating over the image and collecting all the pixels satisfying all step 1 conditions, all these condition satisfying pixels are set to white.
