[pdal] Bug in readers.gdal?

Okay. I haven’t looked into the code but my feeling is that it is more than just an error in the documentation. If the problem was only the docs I would expect the pipeline to work when switching the in/out dimensions. Would you agree?

You're correct. Looks like there's an error in the documentation for the GDAL reader.

I thought the same, but
C:\Temp\pdal_gdal_reader>pdal pipeline tif2las.xml
PDAL: Can't ferry dimension 'Z'. Dimension doesn't exist.
is what I get when I change the dimension option in the pipeline to Z=band-1.
And the help in the command line also suggests otherwise (not sure if the format is different in a pipeline file though):
C:\Temp\pdal_gdal_reader>pdal --options=filters.ferry
filters.ferry

dimensions
Dimensions to copy (<in>=<out>,...)
So band-1 would have to be the in-dimension and the out-dimension Z. Maybe the in and out dimensions have been mixed up internally?

It looks like the specification to the ferry filter is incorrect. It should be Z=band-1, rather than the other way around.
Hope this helps.

Hi.
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?
Here’s the pipeline description:
C:\Temp\pdal_gdal_reader>cat tif2las.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Pipeline version="1.0">
<Writer type="writers.las">
<Option name="filename">
out.las
</Option>
<Filter type="filters.ferry">
<Option name="dimensions">
band-1=Z
</Option>
<Reader type="readers.gdal">
<Option name="filename">
dtm_1km_6172_717.tif
</Option>
</Reader>
</Filter>
</Writer>
</Pipeline>
And the the tif-file has the following info, tif2las.xml:
C:\Temp\pdal_gdal_reader>gdalinfo dtm_1km_6172_717.tif

}
}
It seems like the band-1 dimension is not read properly in this case. Is this in fact a bug, or am I creating my pipeline incorrectly?
I am using PDAL version 1.1.0 (git-version: 64ca76) from OSGeo4W.
Another thing I’ve run into is that pdal crashes when trying to apply the same filter via the command line like this:
C:\Temp\pdal_gdal_reader>pdal translate -f ferry --filters.ferry.dimensions=band-1=Z -r readers.gdal -w writers.las -i dtm_1km_6172_717.tif -o out.las
Probably a separate issue though.
