A Finite State Machine Approach to Cluster Identification Using the Hoshen-Kopelman Algorithm

The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient finite state machine implementation of the eponymous Hoshen-Kopelman cluster identification algorithm using the nearest-eight neighborhood rule suitable to applications such as computer modeling for landscape ecology. The implementation presented...
