I need to separate the different regions or "islands" formed by 1s within a matrix of any dimension. My example seemed to work correctly but there is some "special" case like the next one that does not work well. It should detect 2 elements or regions and yet it "gets confused" and finds 3 (when 2 and 3 should be the same). You can run the example to see more clearly what I explain.
var matrix = [
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1],
[0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
];
var contFilas = matrix.length;
var contColumnas = matrix[0].length;
var canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var sz = 20;
var regions = [];
var regionCollection = [];
canvas.width = sz * contColumnas;
canvas.height = sz * contColumnas;
ctx.fillStyle = "silver";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for (var y = 0; y < contFilas; y++) {
var regionline = [];
regions.push(regionline);
for (var x = 0; x < contColumnas; x++) {
var pixelRegion = 0;
regionline[x] = 0;
if (matrix[y][x] === 1) {
// check previous row
if (y) {
if (matrix[y - 1][x]) {
pixelRegion = regions[y - 1][x];
} else if (x && matrix[y - 1][x - 1]) {
pixelRegion = regions[y - 1][x - 1];
} else if (x + 1 < contColumnas && matrix[y - 1][x + 1]) {
pixelRegion = regions[y - 1][x + 1];
}
}
// check current row
if (x && matrix[y][x - 1]) {
pixelRegion = regions[y][x - 1];
}
// if not connected, start a new region
if (!pixelRegion) {
regionCollection.push([]);
pixelRegion = regionCollection.length;
}
// remember region
regionline[x] = pixelRegion;
regionCollection[pixelRegion - 1].push([x, y]);
// paint it
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
ctx.fillRect(x * sz + 1, y * sz + 1, sz - 2, sz - 2);
}
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillText(pixelRegion, x * sz + 8, y * sz + 13);
}
}
document.querySelector("#result").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(regionCollection);

How can I correct this? I can not solve the error ... It could be solved with a recursive function that traversing the matrix is called to check in each coordinate if it has 1s around it (up, down, left, right and diagonal). I'm stuck and I do not know how to fix the error
