  • if the point cloud is valid according to las specification

  • if the header is valid according to las specification

  • if the point cloud is in accordance with the header

  • if the point cloud has duplicated points and degenerated ground points

  • it the coordinate reference sytem is correctly recorded

  • if some pre-processing, such as normalization or ground filtering, is already done.

For a LAScatalog object it checks:

  • if the headers are consistent across files

  • if the files are overlapping

For the pre-processing tests the function only makes an estimation and may not be correct.
