| Abstract [eng] |
Currently available line simplification algorithms are rooted in mathematics and geometry, and are unfit for bendy map features like rivers and coastlines. Wang and Müller observed how cartographers simplify these natural features and created an algorithm. We implemented this algorithm and documented it in great detail. Our implementation makes Wang–Müller algorithm freely available in PostGIS, and this paper explains it. |
