Hey folks,

we got some 3D-surface-data in our postgis-db and we need to simplify/generalize it. The geomtype is polyon cause we use a geoserver with w3ds extension to publish it.

The data comes from a shapefile with x,y,z-pointdata. The points are in regular distance (every 100 meters).

This is of course inefficient and i would like to simplify the data and reduce the amount of points without losing information. The shape of the surface shouldn't change to much but the neighbouring points of (nearly) equal height should be erased.

Any hints or tips on how to do that? (ST_Simplify did just nothing with the data.)

Kind regards,

Kai
