Simplifying TugGraph using zipping algorithms

作者:

Highlights:

• We generalise zipping algorithms for segmentation hierarchy editing to simplify the popular TugGraph visualisation algorithm.

• Our SimpleTug approach is modular, straightforward, and saves memory and time compared to existing TugGraph implementations.

• We prove its equivalence to other methods, show its effectiveness, and discuss how TugGraph and zipping are connected.

• These connections help pin down what TugGraph is really doing, making it easier to reason about in future.

• We further show how SimpleTug and an existing TugGraph method can be parallelised.
