Bkr. Ray et al., AN OPTIMAL ALGORITHM FOR POLYGONAL-APPROXIMATION OF DIGITIZED-CURVES, Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 25(1-2), 1994, pp. 113-126
An optimal algorithm for polygonal approximation of digitized curves i
s presented The approximation is continuous and the vertices of the po
lygon are constrained to lie on the digitized curve. The procedure loo
ks for the longest possible line segments with the minimum possible in
tegral square error along the current line segment.
