About

The application is based on the SmoothLife paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1111.1567) with some additions:

• Instead of neighbourghood fillings, the application uses two weighted averages of a convolution integral of the area and a kernel within the radius r :
  
  

• Each kernel is generated by a user-defined curve that represents a cross section of kernel values along the radius.

• The transition function consists of a set of optional rules that have two conditions (for each kernel) implemented as double-sided sigmoid functions.
