AbstractIn recent years, the simplification of polygonal models has become an important problem for achieving interactive frame rates in the visualization of complex virtual environments. The speed of various graphics applications can be enhanced with the simplification of polygonal models. This research is directed to developing an algorithm, and its software implementation, to simplify a planar polygonal curve. The algorithm uses curvature to determine vertices to remove in the simplification process. In particular, the input polygonal curve is approximated in pieces by Bezier curves, whose curvature is then lifted to the input curve
