Questions: 
  • Given the patch diameters are in meters, why is the recommended PatchDiam values always less than 1 cm?


Issues:
I tried to run the tool against this branch file. This was an attempt to just segment out a branch from one of the tiles, to see if the qsm could fit cylinders to it, or if a distinct tree shape was needed.

After I chose just 1 value, I obtained these results. There is a lot of small segments of size radius 0.01 m, which prompted my question, since this branch is around 15 cm diameter.
