## Line simplification loss
#### The line simplification loss is based on an inverse Visvalingam’s algorithm.
Inspired by a method commonly employed in digital cartography for coastline simplification, Visvalingam's algorithm, we construct a loss function that does its reverse. [@visvalingam1990douglas]
Inspired by a method commonly employed in digital cartography for coastline simplification, Visvalingam's algorithm, we construct a loss function that does its reverse.[@visvalingam1990douglas]
Here, at each point (ignoring the boundary points), we compute the effective area associated with its triangle, see Fig. @fig:line_loss(b).
The loss then becomes the average area of two adjacent traingles.
