Description

The r.in.lidar in QGIS 2.18.14 and in GRASS 7.0.3 in Linux Mint and Windows 10 do the same error when running the tool:

For Windows 10 I tried for both the OSGeo4W install and the direct install. I tried it also with QGIS 2.16.x and 2.14.x for both the OS. In Linux Mint I apt-get autoremoved/autocleaned always after.
In Windows 10, if I install GRASS 7.2.2 separately and run the tool from it, it works well. I tried to reconnect QGIS with the separate GRASS install, but it does the same error again.

It worked until a few updates ago; it works well in QGIS 2.18.5 with GRASS 7.2.0
I noticed that also other r.* GRASS tools don't work anymore.

Hi
I'm not en expert using r.in.lidar, I had some problems putting it at work in grass directly, btw I was able to run it in grass74 and in qgis master via processing on linux.
Somethig failed during:
r.in.lidar input="/home/alen/Desktop/TM_395_91.laz" method=mean type=FCELL zscale="1" percent="100" resolution="1" -e -o output=output412a4072b5e749b8b5eaa46a1e1a183f --overwrite

I see that not setting filter Z and intensity range that are marked optionals, generate null data rasters.

Alen Mangafic can you check playing with r.in.lidar parameters in processing with latest qgis? In my case seems it's work with some parameter conditions.

#7 Updated by Luigi Pirelli over 5 years ago

tested also on win10 and qgis-dev... seems its works correctly setting Z and intensity range. IMHO it can be closed

Hi, the default Z should be 1.0 (any scaling is highly optional) and the majority that users want is the import of Z values and not of the intensities. That could be the error sources. I will retry this days in Windows 10 and the last Ubuntu and let you know (I would do it right now if I wasn't chained in bed by flu).

Thank you very much for digging into it.

Regards,
Alen

Z range is not related with Z scale (e.g. exageration). ZRange is used to cut a data cube within a specific Z range.

Sorry, I undersood just now you takked about ranges.The minima and maxima of the dataset should be the default? I will check when on computer :)

#11 Updated by Luigi Pirelli over 5 years ago

no problem... thanks for checking. About setting by default min/max IMHO is the expected behaviour but no idea if before was able to setup the range automatically. IMHO if min=max => no range have to be set => gets all. But the issue is not related with if parameters are correct or not, but related if r.in.lidar works (in some way) or not.

The module in native GRASS works:

a command like

r.in.lidar -e --overwrite input=/home/giovanni/Downloads/NEONDSSampleLiDARPointCloud.las output=test1 resolution=10

produces the expected output in native GRASS.

The problem in QGIS/Processing seems to be (possibly among the others) the parameters that SHOULD be optional (like the ranges) but are not, because are filled by default with values that is not possible to set to "none", and where we can't set by default anything other than "0".

In QGIS the base minimum commnad we produce is

r.in.lidar input="/home/giovanni/Downloads/NEONDSSampleLiDARPointCloud.las" method="mean" type="FCELL" zrange="0,0" zscale=1 intensity_range="0,0" intensity_scale=1 percent=100

that evidently is not 100% correct, at least for a general scenario.

If we tweak the parameters to

r.in.lidar input="/home/giovanni/Downloads/NEONDSSampleLiDARPointCloud.las" method="mean" type="FCELL" zrange="-1000000,1000000" zscale=1 intensity_range="-1000000,1000000" intensity_scale=1 percent=100 resolution=10 -e

this STILL does not work in QGIS/Processing, but DOES work in the GRASS console, that indicated that there is even more than only problems with parameters defaults.
