Investigate and Resolve UID Preservation Issue in Geometry Calculation

[helvecioneto]

Description

The current implementation of convex_hull has some issues that need to be revised. Maintaining the previous UID depends on calculating the cluster size at the previous time (t-1). This issue proposes an investigation to determine the best strategy to maintain the UID of clusters with convex_hull. One of the propositions is that using 'size' (column used in the spatial_operations module and which comes from features_extraction ) is the best alternative, or if in the case of using convex_hull the best strategy would be to use the area of ​​the polygons.

Tasks

1. Analyze the current implementation and assess how convex_hull impacts the UID preservation logic.
2. Evaluate the suitability of using the polygon area function as an alternative.
3. Perform tests and benchmarks to compare the accuracy and efficiency of both methods.
4. Update the implementation with the most appropriate solution.

Expected Outcome

A clear decision on the best approach for geometry calculation to ensure consistent and reliable UID preservation, followed by the implementation of the chosen method.
