whitebox clip function corrupting output file #200

Open arojas314 opened 3 years ago

Description

After using the whitebox tools clip function in python, the output lidar file seems to be corrupted. I am unable to attach the zipped folder with my data since it exceeds 25mb. Here is an example error message I get when viewing the output file in lastools. 'chunk table and XXXXXXXXXX bytes are missing' is the common error message from the output file.

What I Did

wbt.clip_lidar_to_polygon(
    i="NEON_D01_HARV_DP1_732000_4713000_classified_point_cloud_colorized.laz", 
    polygons="towerPoly.shp", 
    output="lidarAOI.laz"
)

Thanks!

I'm curious if you convert the file to a LAS files, does the tool work as expected? I'm wondering if this is a LAZ issue or if it is within the tool.

I just confirmed that it seems to run fine using a .las file.

Are you able to post the data somewhere, like Google Drive, to share it with me? It's difficult to resolve the issue without being able to replicate it.

@arojas314 are you able to post the data to a GoogleDrive/DropBox location. If not, I am afraid I will have to close this issue.
