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.
