I am trying to extract the first and second returns from a LAS file in ENVI 4.8 - by conerting it to an ENVI Raster File
I use the following flow: Open External File --> LAS LiDAR --> Convert LAS Data.
This procecure produces the intended raster file (DEM), but there is no geographic cordinate information when I use the Cursur Location/Value tool in the image window - only the row and column values.
There are no Select Output Image Projection available. In the help section is states that "This option is available only if the LAS file has associated geospatial information"
A copy of the LAS header file is given below. There are eastings and northing coordinates provided in the information, but is there something missing?
