Smallest Rectangle Enclosing Black Pixels
Try to solve the Smallest Rectangle Enclosing Black Pixels problem.
We'll cover the following
Statement
You are given an image
, where
All black pixels in the matrix form a single connected region, where connectivity is defined by horizontal or vertical adjacency.
Given two integers x
and y
that represent the coordinates of one of the black pixels, write an algorithm to find the area of the smallest axis-aligned rectangle that encloses all the black pixels.
Note: Your solution must have a runtime complexity less than
.
Constraints:
image.length
== image[i].length
image[i][j]
 is either or x
y
image[x][y]
The black pixels in theÂ
image
 only form one component.
