System and method for the adaptive mapping of matrix data to sets of polygons

摘要: A system and method for converting bitmapped data, example, weather data or thermal imaging to polygons is disclosed. The conversion of the into creates smaller files. invention adaptive in that it allows a variable degree fidelity polygons. Matrix obtained. color value used creation list cells check determined based on value. examined order determine boundary list. then vertices. determination vertices prescribed maximum distance. When drawn, ordered create which depict cell data. files include are much than corresponding polygon representation can be adjusted by repeating logic with varying values achieve given file size number per polygon.
