(a) Propose a method (using any of the techniques from Sections 9.1 through 9.5) for automating the example in Fig. 9.16. You may assume that the spheres do not touch each other and that none touch the border of the image.

---

(b) Repeat (a), but allowing the spheres to touch in arbitrary ways, including touching the border.

FIGURE 9.16 (a) Binary image (the white dot inside one of the regions is the starting point for the hole-filling algorithm). (b) Result of filling that region. (c) Result of filling all holes.
