The input point sequence is firstly partitioned into several overlapped function segments. For each segment, a cubic spline function is used as the representation tool which entails a polyline approximation of curvature plot. Based on the extrinsic relationship between the polyline and the positions of data points, a coarse-to-fine faring method is proposed which efficiently identifies and eliminates the unnecessary inflection points. Our algorithm generates the best results to date, which is validated by numerous practical examples.展开更多
