Given a binary matrix, find out the maximum size square sub-matrix with all 1s.
For example, consider the below binary matrix.
0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
The maximum square sub-matrix with all set bits is
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Algorithm:
Let the given binary matrix be M[R][C]. The idea of the algorithm is to construct an auxiliary size matrix S[][] in which each entry S[i][j] represents size of the square sub-matrix with all 1s including M[i][j] where M[i][j] is the rightmost and bottommost entry in sub-matrix.
1) Construct a sum matrix S[R][C] for the given M[R][C]. a) Copy first row and first columns as it is from M[][] to S[][] b) For other entries, use following expressions to construct S[][] If M[i][j] is 1 then S[i][j] = min(S[i][j-1], S[i-1][j], S[i-1][j-1]) + 1 Else /*If M[i][j] is 0*/ S[i][j] = 0 2) Find the maximum entry in S[R][C] 3) Using the value and coordinates of maximum entry in S[i], print sub-matrix of M[][]
For the given M[R][C] in above example, constructed S[R][C] would be:
0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 2 2 0 1 2 2 3 1 0 0 0 0 0
The value of maximum entry in above matrix is 3 and coordinates of the entry are (4, 3). Using the maximum value and its coordinates, we can find out the required sub-matrix.
