Explore the effect of `max_edge_distance` #64

Open bart1 opened 1 year ago

To avoid fully connected networks there is currently a max_edge_distance (default 50 meter). How ever density of points is strongly dependent on distance from the radar. This means that the density of graphs will be dependent on distance from the radar this might be undesirable. Furthermore the distance between elevation scan as some distance from the radar might also exceed the threshold, as a result one might get unconnected graphs and occasions where no vertical information is included. Therefore it might be important to explore the effect of max_edge_distance and consider some other approach of connecting neighbors. Say minimally X neighbors and maybe a way to ensure vertical information is included.
