SmoothPath_Gauss


Module: FoundationPro

Smooths a path by averaging its characteristic points within a kernel using gaussian-weighted average.

Name Type Range Description
Input value inPath Path Input path
Input value inStdDev Real 0.0 - Smoothing standard deviation
Input value inKernelRelativeSize Real 0.0 - A multiple of the standard deviation determining the size of the kernel
Output value 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

SmoothPath_Gauss run on the sample path with inStdDev = 0.6 and inKernelRelativeSize = 3.

SmoothPath_Gauss run on the sample path with inStdDev = 2 and inKernelRelativeSize = 3.
