---|
Smooths a path by averaging its characteristic points within a kernel using gaussian-weighted average.
Name | Type | Range | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
inPath | Path | Input path | |
![]() |
inStdDev | Real | 0.0 - ![]() |
Smoothing standard deviation |
![]() |
inKernelRelativeSize | Real | 0.0 - ![]() |
A multiple of the standard deviation determining the size of the kernel |
![]() |
outPath | Path | Output path |
Description
The operation replaces each characteristic point of the path with the local gaussian average, thus smoothing its shape. The local average is computed as a gaussian mean of the consecutive inStdDev*inKernelRelativeSize characteristic points.
Examples
![]() A sample path |
