Downsample data preserving regions with high curvature

I want to do the following:




  • Plot some two-dimensional data wich uses way too many mesh points.

  • Reduce the number of mesh points by a factor of three.

  • In this plot are some regions with high curvature and some with low curvature, and I cannot remove the data in high-curvature regions but I can live without some data in low-curvature regions.


Is there any simple way to do this?



I tried the MATLAB functions downsample, interpolate, resample, interp, interp1, and upfirdn but none of them seems to solve my problem since they all have something to do with signal and frequency, but my problem is not of this kind.

    It would be useful if you added an example data set or function with this behaviour, so we can easily suggest solutions (a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example). Do you have a function (i.e. which you could differentiate) or just discrete data points?
