Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Removing noises in a given binary image is one of common
operations. A generalization of the operation is to erase
an arbitrarily specified component by reversing pixel values
in the component. This paper shows that this operation is
done without using any data structure like a stack or queue,
or more exactly using only constant extra memory (of
$O(\log n)$ bits for an image of $n$ pixels) in
$O(m \log m)$ time for a component consisting of $m$ pixels.
This is an in-place algorithm, but the image matrix cannot
be used as work space since it has just one bit for each pixel.
Whenever we flip a pixel value in a target component,
the component shape is also deformed, which causes some
difficulty. An idea for our constant work space algorithm
is a deformation of a component which keeps its connectivity.
