This is a classical problem in Homology Theory which tries to calculate the number of connected components and the representative curves of the holes of these components from a given binary 2D image. To this aim, we present a family of P systems which solves all the instances of the problem in the framework of Tissue-like P systems with catalysts. This is a new framework which combines the membrane structure and symport-antiport communication rules of tissue-like P systems with the power of catalysts.}, issn = {1453-8245}, url = {http://www.imt.ro/romjist/Volum13/Number13_2/abstracts.htm$\#$4}, author = {Daniel D{\'\i}az-Pernil and Miguel A.
