Duplicate vertices

Consecutive repeated coordinates (zero-length segments) in a ring can produce degenerate edges that break area and intersection calculations.

01

Detection

Scan ring coordinates for consecutive points with distance approximately 0.

02

Mitigation

01
Dedupe consecutive identical coordinates before processing
02
Run through a geometry-repair pass (e.g. GEOS makeValid) prior to filling
