Reduce size of GeoJSON Multipolygon data
Is there a way to combine multiple tiny polygons into bigger ones and thus making it more likely that the simplify()
function will have a meaningful effect? To achieve this, I already tried to use the explode()
function, which gives me a DataFrame
s of Polygon
s instead of a few MultiPolygon
and then apply unary_union()
. Sadly, this gives me roughly the same result as the original data. That leads me to the assumption that the polygons might be in such a fragmented state that does not allow for any combination of those, since they share not common edges.
