A Vector Line Simplification Algorithm Based on the Douglas–Peucker Algorithm, Monotonic Chains and Dichotomy

When using the traditional Douglas–Peucker (D–P) algorithm to simplify linear objects, it is easy to generate results containing self-intersecting errors, thus affecting the application of the D–P algorithm. To solve the problem of self-intersection, a new vector line simplification algorithm based...
