Abstract
A system and method for storing a plurality data points, each data point representing a geographic location, a first set of data points representing a first geometric object and a second set of data points representing a second geometric object. The system and method then remove a first data point from the first set of data points representing the first geometric object based on at least a distance between a first location represented by the first data point and a second location represented by a second data point of the second set of data points representing a second geometric object.

1-23. (canceled)
A system, comprising:
- a data storage mechanism that stores data points, wherein each data point comprises of a latitudinal and longitudinal coordinate;
- and
- a processor that executes instructions to cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- removing a first data point from a first set of the data points based on i) a first distance between a first coordinate represented by the first data point and a second coordinate represented by a second data point of a second set of the data points, ii) a second distance between the first coordinate represented by the first data point and a third coordinate represented by a third data point of the first set of data points, and iii) a relationship between the first and second distances.
A method, comprising:
- storing a plurality of data points, wherein each data point comprises of a latitudinal and longitudinal coordinate;
- removing a first data point from a first set of data points based on i) a first distance between a first coordinate represented by the first data point and a second coordinate represented by a second data point of a second set of data points, ii) a second distance between the first coordinate represented by the first data point and a third coordinate represented by a third data point of the first set of data points, and iii) a relationship between the first and second distances.
A method, comprising:
- determining a first distance between a first location represented by a first data point of a first set of data points and a second location represented by a second data point of the first set of data points, wherein each data point represents a latitude and longitude coordinate;
- determining a second distance between the first location and a third location represented by a third data point of the second set of data points;
- and
- determining a relationship between the first and second distances.
