Handel-C implementation of classical component labelling algorithm

In the paper the implementation of classical label component algorithm in Handel-C language has been discussed. The implementation of the image segmentation stage has been realized in real-time in the pipeline structure. The process of construction of optimal implementation has been shown, including the algorithm parallelization on one hand and taking advantage of the language features on the other. Each implementation has been verified in hardware and tested by a set of specially designed test images.
