In this paper, we present efficient reconfigurable mesh algorithms for transforming between a binary image and its corresponding boundary code. These algorithms use n?n?n processors when the size of the binary images is n?n. Recent published results show that these transformations can be done in O(1) time using O(n^4) processors. The number of processors used by these algorithms is very large compared to the number of pixels in the image. Here, we present fast transformation algorithms which use n^3 processors only. The transformation from a boundary code to a binary image takes O(1) time, and the converse transformation takes O(log n) time.
