Smoothing a line

The more vertices added the smoother the line. For features that do not have exact borders this is a way to interpolate the border between the measured points.


The vertices are 3 meters apart


       

The vertices are 1 meter apart


For calculation of smooth crown projections and profiles in Field-Map it is used "Ferguson spline curve". Reference can be found here.
