Boost geometry simplify is used in the following projects:

  • Tilemaker (Richard Fairhurst, Open source) tilemaker is a single executable that takes OpenStreetMap data and makes it into vector tiles. It's supremely customisable, but if you just want off-the-shelf tiles in a standard style, tilemaker comes bundled with the files to do that too.

  • Olympus (Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions GmbH, Closed Source) A system for automatic scanning of microscope slides holding tissue sections. An algorithm was developed to distribute focusing locations within the tissue section outlines, represented by boost::geometry polygons. While working on this the self intersection issues of the “simplify” algorithm in boost which are resolved using this algorithm.
