psimpl
'psimpl' is a c++ polyline simplification library that is generic, easy to use, and supports the following algorithms:

Simplification
+ Nth point - A naive algorithm that keeps only each nth point
+ Distance between points - Removes successive points that are clustered together
+ Perpendicular distance - Removes points based on their distance to the line segment defined
by their left and right neighbors
+ Reumann-Witkam - Shifts a strip along the polyline and removes points that fall outside
+ Opheim - A constrained version of Reumann-Witkam
+ Lang - Similar to the Perpendicular distance routine, but instead of looking only at direct
neighbors, an entire search region is processed
+ Douglas-Peucker - A classic simplification algorithm that provides an excellent approximation
of the original line
+ A variation on the Douglas-Peucker algorithm - Slower, but yields better results at lower resolutions

Errors
+ positional error - Distance of each polyline point to its simplification

All the algorithms have been implemented in a single standalone C++ header using an STL-style
interface that operates on input and output iterators. Polylines can be of any dimension, and
defined using floating point or signed integer data types.

 

 

changelog

23-10-2010 - Changed license from CPOL to MPL
26-10-2010 - Clarified input (type) requirements, and changed the behavior of the algorithms
under invalid input
01-12-2010 - Added the nth point, perpendicular distance and Reumann-Witkam routines; moved all

simplification; renamed simplify_douglas_peucker_alt to simplify_douglas_peucker_n
18-06-2011 - Added Lang simplification; fixed divide by zero bug when using integers; fixed a
bug where incorrect output iterators were returned under invalid input; fixed a bug
in douglas_peucker_n where an incorrect number of points could be returned; fixed a
bug in compute_positional_errors2 that required the output and input iterator types
to be the same; fixed a bug in compute_positional_error_statistics where invalid
statistics could be returned under questionable input; documented input iterator
requirements for each algorithm; miscellaneous refactoring of most algorithms.
