A portion of the QA/QC process should be to determine what the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) or Spatial Reference System (SRS) is for the LIDAR data. Both horizontal and vertical CRS should be determined as part of the QA/QC process. This check ensures that the data has the correct information assigned within the header of the LAS files. Read more...
