Error reading LAZ file #383

Closed Martin-Dawson closed 8 months ago

Martin-Dawson commented 1 year ago

Trying to run LidarDigitalSurfaceModel from within the QGIS Processing Toolbox. The following error is returned:

thread '' panicked at 'Error reading LAZ file.: Reader(OffsetToEvlrsTooSmall(172178572))', whitebox-lidar\src\las.rs:1179:61 note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

Routine worked 30-9-23 but not 2-10-23!

I'm sorry but Whitebox doesn't currently support the COPC file format for LiDAR data. I don't think that reading these data could ever have worked since we do not have a reader/writer for this format. If the underlying Rust library that we use for reading LAZ files eventually adds support for COPC, we will similarly support the file format, but I don't think that there are plans to do so currently.
