Abstract
The technique of optical symbolic substitution is applied to development of a new filling algorithm that reconstructs an image from its boundary in constant time, whereas known filling algorithms have at least O(n log N) time complexity, where n is the number of boundary pixels of a polygon and N is the diameter of the image expressed in terms of pixels.
