Hi Reinhold,
It is good idea. It can solve the problem as I said in my last email.
I tried this in my program. And I don't find further problem till now.
:)
Thanks,
Jiang

Hi Jiang,
The reason for its stopping looks quite obvious with this extensive
trace output - as usually Luis' idea was more or less already the
solution ;-)
When the algorithm finds the "center point 100" all its neighbourhood
looks like it was finished. In fact, the algorithm should continue at
the second last point (so-called "above 100") now.
Thus, your algorithm requires one little "enhancement": use a stack with
coordinates/indices of found contour points if they have still
neighbouring contour points not being found. Consequently you should
have the "above 100" at the top of your stack when the algorith stops at
the "center point 100", hence, the algorithm should then continue with
the top element of the stack and it is only finished when the original
algorithm stops AND the stack is empty.
HTH and I have not missed anything,
Reinhold
