Ok, so this is natural polygon generalisation. Looking at https://github.com/imagico/coastline_gen the method used is to rasterise, process and then vectorise back. I wonder if that is better/faster than full vector way: st_clusterwithin, st_union, st_buffer(positiveN), st_buffer(negativeN+M), st_buffer(positiveM) with a seasoning of st_simplifypresevetopology according to taste. > Another aspect is filtering: osm-carto removes features when they would be > very small (pixels at a given zoom level) and lead to "noise". Filtering (selection) is technically also a generalisation. But you need to group and probably amalgamate them before deciding that it is "too small". For example if we have a lot of small patches of forest close together (say 1000 patches of 10x10m with distance between patches of 1m) you would want to amalgamate them to one large forest, not to get rid of them all. Ways and especially buildings are the most interesting (difficult) part :-) P.S. GRASS claims to be doing displacement and way selection (https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/V.generalize_tutorial) -- Tomas _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
