[pdal] Building a PDAL pipeline in python

[Peter Tittmann]

Hi,

Using: pdal 1.4.0 (git-version: Release)

I’m developing a pipeline in python which produces the following JSON:

> pipeString ='{"pipeline": ["./pgc_input/chug_lidar/Kenai/Points/Ken_00403.las", {"radius": 46.330202145018255, "type": "filters.crop", "point": "POINT(671977.\
> 149785037 6621359.13979493)"}]}’


PDAL doesn’t seem to understand radius using `filters.crop`:

> pipe = pdal.Pipeline(unicode(pipeString))

> pipe.validate()
> Warning 1: Cannot find pcs.csv
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
> RuntimeError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

>      40
>      41     def validate(self):
> ---> 42         return self.p.validate()
>      43
>      44     def get_arrays(self):

> pdal/libpdalpython.pyx in pdal.libpdalpython.PyPipeline.validate (pdal/libpdalpython.cpp:2627)()
>

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
