A method for construction of a piecewise linear approximation of a given smooth curve is presented. A scheme for selecting data points from a finite set of curve points is given which allows the given curve to be approximated with respect to prescribed error tolerance. These points are to be uniformly distributed with respect to integrated absolute curvature. The method is tested for various examples of curves and is applied to the problems of image compression and volume visualization.
