leetcode85 - Maximal Rectangle - hard

Posted 2021-01-11 jasminemzy

Given a 2D binary matrix filled with 0\'s and 1\'s, find the largest rectangle containing only 1\'s and return its area.

Example:

Input:

[

  ["1","0","1","0","0"],

  ["1","0","1","1","1"],

  ["1","1","1","1","1"],

  ["1","0","0","1","0"]

]

Output: 6

 

 

Iterative的largest rectangle in histogram.

思路：一层一层遍历，到i层时，第i层是1的位置可以向上延伸所有连续的1作为一个直方条条，按这样的规律可以把matrix[0:i][:]看做一个直方图，然后去统计当前情况下的最大rectangle，得到答案后去打擂台。所有层遍历完了，答案就出来了。

 

直方图的储存：用int[] heights[colLength]来储存，更新的方法是，扫matrix里新的一行时，如果看到’0’就清空heights[j]，如果看到’1’就让heights[j]++。

解释计算直方图里的清空操作：直方条的定义是底部非空向上生长。因为histogram问题里能用stack解决的原因就是，所有直方图最底部开始都是非空的，那么算面积是可以只在意顶上高到哪里，不用担心底部有没有悬空，从而记录高度即可。如果你把matrix的局部转化成直方图的时候看到上面有1但底部是0，那这一列都不合格直方条的定义了。上面的1不用担心，你之前遍历到前面那行的时候算过了。

实现：

class Solution {
    public int maximalRectangle(char[][] matrix) {
        // invalid input.
        if (matrix == null || matrix.length == 0 || matrix[0].length == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        
        int ans = 0;
        int[] heights = new int[matrix[0].length];
        for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < matrix[0].length; j++) {
                if (matrix[i][j] == \'0\') {
                    heights[j] = 0;
                } else {
                    heights[j]++;
                }
            }
            ans = Math.max(ans, maxRecInHistogram(heights));
        }
        return ans;
    }
    
    private int maxRecInHistogram(int[] heights) {
        int ans = 0;
        Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();
        for (int i = 0; i <= heights.length; i++) {
            while (!stack.isEmpty() && (i == heights.length || heights[i] < heights[stack.peek()])) {
                int height = heights[stack.pop()];
                int width = stack.isEmpty() ? i : i - stack.peek() - 1;
                ans = Math.max(ans, height * width);
            }
            stack.push(i);
        }
        return ans;
    }
}
