  • 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.
