fibers.smoothed {GoodFibes}

Smoothing of estimated fiber paths

Description

Applies splines to smooth the stepwise fiber paths produced by good.fibes, with the function ns from splines.

Usage

fibers.smoothed(fib.list, df)

Arguments

fib.list

A list of fibers with $fiber.points, produced by good.fibes or one of the cleaning and processing functions (e.g., fuse.fibers).

df

The degrees of freedom passed to splines2::nsp. Knots equal to df - 1 - intercept are set as breakpoints in the spline curve. A straight line path has a df of 1.

Value

fiber.points

The original fiber path from good.fibes

fiber.smoothed

The curved, smoothed fiber paths
