Blob coloring (or LABEL_REGION in IDL)

I thought I’d see if anyone has any canned functions/methods or “good
ideas” before I wrote code to do this. Given a 2D bilevel (zero’s and
non-zero values) array (image), a mask of the same size is returned
where each element (pixel) is given a unique region/blob value. Each
region/blob is a set of non-zero elements (pixels) surrounded by
zeroes. This is done by the LABEL_REGION function in IDL.

i’m doing a lot of this stuff using the vigra toolkit

i’ve been trying to hook it into narray, but have not had time.

can i ask what your doing exactly?
