   What we do now is (see the Douglas Peucker Algorithm):
 
   1. Divide the current contour in two line segments (start - middle; middle - end), put them into the stack
 
   2. Fetch first line segment and create the following vectors:
 
   - v1 = (start;end)
   - v2 = (start;currentPoint) -> for each point of the current line segment!
 
   3. Calculate the distance from the currentPoint to v1:
 
   a. Determine the length of the orthogonal projection of v2 to v1 by:
 
   l = v2 * (normalized v1)
 
   b. There a three possibilities for the distance then:
 
   d = sqrt(lenght(v2)^2 - l^2) if l > 0 and l < length(v1)
   d = lenght(v2-v1) if l > 0 and l > lenght(v1)
   d = length(v2) if l < 0 because v2 is then pointing in a different direction than v1
 
   4. Memorize the point with the biggest distance and create two new line segments with it at the end of the iteration
   and put it into the stack
 
   5. If the distance value D <= m_Tolerance, then add the start and end index and the corresponding points to the reduced ones
