为了完整性，我想分享我的解决方案，这是一个基于Retsam的被接受的答案和David Eisenstat在评论中提出的想法的python实现。该方法是将凸包上连接到原多边形上相同顶点的边替换为来自该多边形的中间顶点。

in the sequence are adjacent in the polygon (connected by an edge). The first and

not duplicate the first point at the end of the sequence to close it).

boost::geometry::strategy::buffer::distance_symmetric<double>{r}调用buffer，该距离足够大以弥合绿色和红色多边形之间的差距，然后再调用buffer并使用boost::geometry::strategy::buffer::distance_symmetric<double>{-r}。如果第二次调用产生了伪影，请将一个非常小的数字添加到r中，例如boost::geometry::strategy::buffer::distance_symmetric<double>{-r+0.001}。通常这些形态学运算是在位图上执行，而不是在多边形上执行。但在多边形的角落上运行简单操作可能有效。
