<p class="MsoNormal">Hi.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to map a tif-file to a las-file. So far I have had no luck with it and I suspect there’s a bug in the gdal-reader somewhere. I’m using a pipeline xml with filters.ferry to map the first band of the tif-file as the Z-value in
the output las-file. After running the pipeline I get a las-file where all Z-values are zero. Am I correct in assuming that this is unexpected behavior?<u></u><u></u></p>
