5.9. Smooth

We use this command to smooth a mesh by reducing the presence of unwanted peaks and the roughness of the terrain. The program requests a mesh file, displays the size of the cell on the command line and asks for two parameters:
Radius: What radius of distance do we need to change a vertex. For example, for a mesh with a cell size of one meter: a radius of one meter assumes that each vertex in the mesh is smoothed pursuant to all the sizes of the four cells it comprises.
Iterations: The number of passes that need to be made. The mesh from the previous step is smoothed again using the same radius in each iteration.
On conclusion of the smoothing process, the program will ask for the path in which we intend to store the new smooth mesh and will report how many vertices in the mesh have been changed, in addition to the maximum and average elevation displacement produced.
