Hi all,

I´d like to ask two clarifications about the mean shift segmentation 
implemented in OTB. I was not able to find these in the doc.

1 - What distance metric does the range radius parameter uses when working 
with multiple bands? Is it euclidean distance by default?

So to further clarify how this works, if I have the following three pixels 
with associated values.

| band  | Pixel 1 | Pixel 2 | Pixel 3 |
| band1 | 50      | 55      | 100     |
| band2 | 34      | 30      | 35      |
| band3 | 60      | 56      | 60      |

The euclidean distance between the pairs is the following.

| Pair | Distance |
| 1-2  | 7.5      |
| 1-3  | 50       |
| 2-3  | 45       |

If I set a range radius of let's say 15, which is <<45 and >>7.5, does that 
mean that Pixels 1 and 2 will be made the same value and Pixel 3 will be 
another value (assuming they are all within the same spatial radius).


2 - My second question. What is the unit of the spatial radius? I'm 
assuming pixels, but I'd appreciate confirmation.

The reason I am using the segmentation is that I'm trying to delineate 
areas of similar land use history using time-series of Landsat vegetation 
indices as input.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Cheers,
