DouglasPeuckerVerfahren
The Douglas-Peucker algorithm is a method for reducing the number of points in a curve that is represented by a series of points. It is commonly used in computer graphics and geographic information systems (GIS) to simplify polygons and polylines. The algorithm works by recursively approximating the curve with a straight line segment.
The process begins by connecting the first and last points of the curve with a straight line.
