ITSMe 2.0.0.9000

DBH estimation and quality control

  • Added more robust DBH estimation through the how argument. The original ITSMe behaviour can be obtained with how = "mean"; how = "median" (new default) uses the median point-to-centre radius; and numeric values use a trimmed mean of the point-to-centre radii.
  • Added DBH quality-control metrics to diameter_slice_pc() and dbh_pc(): arc_coverage and inner_circle_empty.
  • Updated summary_basic_pointcloud_metrics_pertree() and summary_basic_pointcloud_metrics() so DBH quality-control metrics are included in the returned summary data frame when "stem diameter" is calculated.
  • Updated the lower-trunk fallback logic in dbh_pc() so that a well-supported direct DBH slice is less likely to be overwritten because of noisy or incomplete lower-stem points.
  • Documented the new DBH estimation options and quality-control metrics in the main ITSMe vignette.
