My las file had a spatial reference of "None." I tried to assign the CRS (in which data were collected) with the following command line:

las2las flightline_002.las --a_srs EPSG:32632
lasinfo --no-check flightline_002.las

Lasinfo still reports it as "None." See screenshot below, line 'Spatial Reference':

enter image description here

Those extent coordinates are UTM meters.

I am working through the examples on http://www.liblas.org/start.html#osx, with libLAS 1.7.0, GeoTIFF 1.4.0 GDAL 1.11.1, Mac OS 10.9.4. Any thoughts?

  • What is the original (source) spatial reference?

  • None. I mean, the data was collected in EPSG 32632, but that doesn't seem to be stored with the .las.

  • :) I dunno -- let's see if I can clip it without a crs.

las2las flightline_002.las --a_srs EPSG:32632 doesn't modify flightline_002.las. Rather, it creates a new file called output.las with the spatial reference information. output.las is the default value of the -o [ --output ] option available in las2las.

To specify the new filename, use the following construction:

las2las --a_srs EPSG:32632 flightline_002.las flightline_002_w_srs.las
