[Liblas-devel] LASPoint::IsValid

[Volker Wichmann]

Hi,

as there's some discussion on "invalid points" on the list at moment, I 
like to ask a question about the IsValid check which I have for some 
weeks now.

IsValid checks (amongst others) the ScanAngleRank to be in the range 
-90° to 90°. Our problem is now, that we have LAS files from MLS (Mobile 
Laser Scanning) which have scan angle ranks ranging from -128 to 128. So 
the check fails with this data.

Does anybody of you know if the ASPRS is discussing this issue for the 
next LAS specification and will relax this constraint (-90/90)?

best regards,
Volker
