I'm trying to find an algorithm that will approximate the outline of an object into a set of line segments. That is, I'd like to create a set of line segments from a set of points such that each line segment represents an approximation of several points of similar degrees of variation. For example: x (e) x (c) x (d) x (b) x x x (a) The above example would be broken up into four line segments (a-to-b, b-to-c), (c-to-d), and (d-to-e). I'd appreciate any help that anyone could give me in this matter. Thanks ahead of time.
