Abstract
Various disclosed embodiments are directed to the lossless removal of redundant control points and/or segments based on chain-to-chain and/or segment-to-segment distance computations. Additionally or alternatively, such removal may be based on identifying all possible lossless removal operations to ensure that the smallest possible zero-error (or near zero-error) representation of a given image. Subsequent lossy operations may be computed via local Gauss-Newton optimization and processing a priority queue.
