Visvalingam vs. Douglas-Peucker

Two well-known algorithms for polyline simplification are the Douglas Peucker and Visvalingam algorithms.

The Douglas Peucker algorithm uses a recursive divide-and-conquer approach. It starts by drawing a straight line from the first point to the last point. Then it finds the intermediate point that is furthest away from the straight line and deems this the "most important" and splits the polyline into two halves at that point. This process is repeated on both halves until the distance of the intermediate point is below a certain threshold, after which all points on that sub-polyline are thrown away since they have a negligible impact on the overall shape.

The Visvalingam algorithm works from the inside-out. It starts by computing the area of the triangle formed by each consecutive three points along the polyline. Then the midpoint of the triangle with the least area is thrown out since those three points are the closest to colinear and the area of triangles on either side are recomputed. The process

slow

This bash script offers quick shortcuts to simulate slower network connections. It is useful when you need to simulate a wireless network on a Linux network server, especially when you are using a virtual machine guest on your local machine or in the cloud.

slow 3G                   # Slow network on default eth0 down to 3G wireless speeds
slow 3G -l 600ms -p 10%   # slow network on eth0 and setup latency to 600ms packetloss to 10%
slow reset                # Reset connection for default eth0 to normal
slow vsat --latency=500ms # Simulate satellite internet  with a high latency

slow dsl -b 1mbps # Simulate DSL with a slower speed than the default

Use ffmpeg and mp4box to prepare DASH-AVC/264 v1.0 VoD
See my DASH-IF presentation from October, 2014:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/misc.meltymedia/dash-if-reveal/index.html#/
1. encode multiple bitrates with keyframe alignment:
ffmpeg -i ~/Movies/5D2_Portrait.MOV -s 1280x720 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1450k -bf 2 \
-g 90 -sc_threshold 0 -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 96k -ar 32000 out.mp4
My input was 30 fps = 3000 ms. If it were 29.97, then a GOP size of 90 frames will yield a base segment
size of 3003 milliseconds. You can make the segment size some multiple of this, e.g.: 6006, 9009, 12012.

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus
