#20 Modify LAS header to show that MCC-LIDAR classified file

[Andrew Hudak]

Awhile ago we talked about labeling the LAS file header as having
been classified using the MCC algorithm. Is this the case now with
MCC v1b3? Are the scale and curvature parameters input by the user
included in this label?

To indicate that a LAS file was classified by MCC-LIDAR, the program needs to set two fields in the file's header:

• System Id = "GROUND CLASSIFICATION"
• Generating Software = "MCC-LIDAR v#.# (rev #)"

The numbers in the Generating Software field are the program's version number and its Subversion revision number, respectively.

The LAS file header has no fields that are appropriate for recording the scale and curvature parameters. They would need to be stored in a variable record (see ticket #44 for details).
