inla.simplify.curve {INLA}R Documentation

Recursive curve simplification.

Description

Attempts to simplify a polygonal curve by joining nearly colinear segments.

Usage

inla.simplify.curve(loc, idx, eps)

Arguments

loc

Coordinate matrix.

idx

Index vector into loc specifying a polygonal curve.

eps

Straightness tolerance.

Details

Uses a variation of the binary splitting Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm, with a width eps ellipse instead of a rectangle, motivated by prediction ellipse for Brownian bridge.

Value

An index vector into loc specifying the simplified polygonal curve.

Examples


theta <- seq(0, 2 * pi, length = 1000)
loc <- cbind(cos(theta), sin(theta))
idx <- inla.simplify.curve(loc = loc, idx = 1:nrow(loc), eps = 0.01)
print(c(nrow(loc), length(idx)))
plot(loc, type = "l")
lines(loc[idx, ], col = "red")
