numeric
- distance threshold.
The d
parameter is a relative measure of close neighbors. Sorting all possible pairs by distance from a tree map,
the merge criterion is that none of the closest pairs should be distant less than the next closest pair's distance minus d
.
This method is useful when merging forked stems or point clusters from plots with too much understory, especially if those are
from forest stands with regularly spaced trees.
