An adaptive threshold algorithm is used to detect all corners, from which key points are selected. The line is divided into some segments by the key points and generalized piecewise with the Li-Openshaw algorithm. To analyze the performance, line features with different complexity are used. The experimental results compared with the DP algorithm and the Li-Openshaw algorithm show that the PG has better performance in keeping the shape characteristic with higher position accuracy.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A New Method of Line Feature Generalization Based on Shape Characteristic Analysis}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/89826/PDF/Journal10178-VolumeXVIII%20Issue4_07paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10178-011-0057-5}, keywords={Line generalization, key point detection, shape characteristic analysis}, }
