Hi Calvin and list,

Have you looked at the GRASS GIS v.generalize tool? https://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/v.generalize.html

The Douglas-Peucker algorithm is implemented there and I have used that with (topologic)success recently on many touching polygons. Should work for polylines too!

Best regards,
Aron

Are there any geodesic QGIS algorithms that simplify lines? "Simplify" just uses the projection units of measure. If there isn't I thought I would add this to the Shape Tools plugin. I could easily implement the Douglas-Peucker algorithm using geodesic math.

For GPS tracks I also see a need to throw out all points that are less than a certain distance or less than a certain time interval. I don't see any simplification algorithms that make use of time. Am I just missing them?

No I don’t think we have any time based simplifiers - would be a great addition!

Regards

Tim




Thanks,

Calvin
