## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
The quadtree encoding allows us to describe a 2N×2N black and white image as a sequence of bits (0 and 1). Those sequences are to be read from left to right like this:
|
||
the first bit deals with the complete 2N×2N region;
|
||
"0" denotes a split:
|
||
the current 2n×2n region is divided into 4 sub-regions of dimension 2n-1×2n-1,
|
||
the next bits contains the description of the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right sub-regions - in that order;
|
||
"10" indicates that the current region contains only black pixels;
|
||
"11" indicates that the current region contains only white pixels.Consider the following 4×4 image (colored marks denote places where a split can occur):
|
||
|
||
This image can be described by several sequences, for example :
|
||
"001010101001011111011010101010", of length 30, or
|
||
"0100101111101110", of length 16, which is the minimal sequence for this image.
|
||
|
||
For a positive integer N, define DN as the 2N×2N image with the following coloring scheme:
|
||
the pixel with coordinates x = 0, y = 0 corresponds to the bottom left pixel,
|
||
if (x - 2N-1)2 + (y - 2N-1)2 ≤ 22N-2 then the pixel is black,
|
||
otherwise the pixel is white.What is the length of the minimal sequence describing D24 ?
