A Near-Linear Time Guaranteed Algorithm for Digital Curve Simplification Under the Fréchet Distance

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that, from a maximum error and a digital curve (4- or 8-connected), computes a simplification of the curve (a polygonal curve) such that the Fréchet distance between the original and the simplified curve is less than the error. The Fréchet distance is known to...
