las2las: get_ProjectedCSTypeGeoKey error

[Max Musterman]

Hi all,

Need to store projection in files!

I have a set of LiDAR las or laz files. Some have the projection stored others do not. From the metadata file I know the projection should be GDA94 / MGA zone 56.

I have tried to use las2las to store the projection info with the las or laz files.

Script was as follows:

::batch script for copy of las to laz format

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\lastools\bin;

::set variables

set HOMETEMP=H:\Corporate1\LAS\LPMA\2010103_Wooli

set OUTPUT_LAZ=%HOMETEMP%\LAZ
set OUTPUT_BOUND=%HOMETEMP%\Boundaries

:: or 55south
set WGS=utm 56south

set NUM_CORES=12

::Change Projection, make laz

las2las    -i %HOMETEMP%\LAZ\*.laz ^
    -cores %NUM_CORES% ^
    -gda94 ^
    -%WGS% ^
    -elevation_meter ^
    -vertical_wgs84^
    -olaz -odir %OUTPUT_LAZ%\

I have attached a screen shot of the cmd.

Would appreciate any thoughts shared on this!!!

Thanks!

Hello,

there's some special handling built into LAStools so that reading an auxiliary file from disk can be avoided for common projections such as NAD83 and UTM combinations but it looks like the special UTM / MGA / GDA94 case for Australia is treated about as poorly as  immigrants on Christmas Island ... I've got to fix that code segment. Until then you could simply specify the correct EPSG code directly:

https://epsg.io/28356

Hence replace all this:

    -gda94 ^

    -utm 56south ^

    -elevation_meter ^

with

    -epsg 28356 ^
