There has been recent interest in the use of quadtrees to represent regions in an image. It thus becomes desirable to develop efficient methods of conversion between quadtrees and other types of region representations. This paper presents an algorithm for converting from quadtrees to a simple class of boundary codes. The algorithm is shown to have an execution time proportional to the perimeter of the region.
