  \brief This class implements an evaluator for tcg's sequential reduction algorithm
  that can be used to simplify the borders extracted from a raster image under
  a specified tolerance factor. This is typically used as a step in polygonal-based
  image vectorization processes.

\sa The tcg::sequence_ops::minimalPath() function.
