The algorithm is used for the processing of [[vector graphics]] and [[cartographic generalization]].
The algorithm is widely used in robotics<ref>{{cite journal |doi = 10.1007/s10514-007-9034-y |title = A comparison of line extraction algorithms using 2D range data for indoor mobile robotics |year = 2007 |last1 = Nguyen |first1 = Viet |last2 = Gächter |first2 = Stefan |last3 = Martinelli |first3 = Agostino |last4 = Tomatis |first4 = Nicola |last5 = Siegwart |first5 = Roland |journal = Autonomous Robots |volume = 23 |issue = 2 |pages = 97–111 | url = http://doc.rero.ch/record/320492/files/10514_2007_Article_9034.pdf |hdl = 20.500.11850/9089 |s2cid = 35663952 |hdl-access = free }}</ref> to perform simplification and denoising of range data acquired by a rotating [[laser rangefinder|range scanner]]; in this field it is known as the split-and-merge algorithm and is attributed to [[Richard O.
