#' @description 
#' `CurveTransect` facilitates distance sampling on a curving transect.
#' 
#' @details 
#' `observerXY`: creates points on a transect at specific meter intervals
#' 
#' `objectXY`: provides spatial coordinates for each detected object in a distance sampling survey
#' 
#' `nearestX`: measures the shortest distance between each detected object anda curving transect
#' 
#' `adjustedL`: calculates the an adjusted transect length for curved covered area calculations
#' 
#' Examples of how to use this package are available at
