#!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ Sanity-check the coordinates and CRS of georeferenced LAS/LAZ point clouds. Role in the pipeline: A verification utility that confirms the HoliCity (London) tiles have been georeferenced correctly before tiling. It inspects each LAS/LAZ file's header and bounding box, reprojects the bbox center to WGS84, and checks whether that center falls within an approximate London bounding box. Behavior: - Recursively scans a directory for .las/.laz files. - Reads header stats (EPSG, bbox, point count, point format, scale, offset) and detects degenerate "near (0,0)" coordinates. - If the file has an EPSG, reprojects its center to WGS84 and flags whether it lies in the London region. - If no EPSG is present, tries a list of candidate CRSs (BNG / UTM 30N / Web Mercator / WGS84) and reports the first one whose center lands in London. - Emits a per-file status (OK / WARN / BAD / ERR) plus a hint, printed as a table and optionally exported to CSV. Inputs: directory of .las/.laz files (CLI: -d/--dir), optional CSV path (-o/--output). Outputs: a console report table and an optional CSV file. No files are modified. External tools: laspy, numpy, pyproj.
