Detailed Description

reduce height field (represented as image) to reduced TIN

vtkGreedyTerrainDecimation approximates a height field with a triangle mesh (triangulated irregular network - TIN) using a greedy insertion algorithm similar to that described by Garland and Heckbert in their paper "Fast Polygonal Approximations of Terrain and Height Fields" (Technical Report CMU-CS-95-181). The input to the filter is a height field (represented by a image whose scalar values are height) and the output of the filter is polygonal data consisting of triangles. The number of triangles in the output is reduced in number as compared to a naive tessellation of the input height field. This filter copies point data from the input to the output for those points present in the output.

An brief description of the algorithm is as follows. The algorithm uses a top-down decimation approach that initially represents the height field with two triangles (whose vertices are at the four corners of the image). These two triangles form a Delaunay triangulation. In an iterative fashion, the point in the image with the greatest error (as compared to the original height field) is injected into the triangulation. (Note that the single point with the greatest error per triangle is identified and placed into a priority queue. As the triangulation is modified, the errors from the deleted triangles are removed from the queue, error values from the new triangles are added.) The point whose error is at the top of the queue is added to the triangulaion modifying it using the standard incremental Delaunay point insertion (see vtkDelaunay2D) algorithm. Points are repeatedly inserted until the appropriate (user-specified) error criterion is met.

To use this filter, set the input and specify the error measure to be used. The error measure options are 1) the absolute number of triangles to be produced; 2) a fractional reduction of the mesh (numTris/maxTris) where maxTris is the largest possible number of triangles 2*(dims[0]-1)*(dims[1]-1); 3) an absolute measure on error (maximum difference in height field to reduced TIN); and 4) relative error (the absolute error is normalized by the diagonal of the bounding box of the height field).

Warning: This algorithm requires the entire input dataset to be in memory, hence it may not work for extremely large images. Invoking BoundaryVertexDeletionOff will allow you to stitch together images with matching boundaries.; The input height image is assumed to be positioned in the x-y plane so the scalar value is the z-coordinate, height value.
