CARIS Batch Utility : BASE Editor Processes : Validate Coverage
 

Validate Coverage

Description

The ValidateCoverage process reports whether the input coverage has any of a set of known data corruption issues.

Inputs

A coverage in a supported format. Currently, the validation checks are primarily focused on point cloud indexing.

Outputs

When performing validation in CARIS Batch, information is written to standard output. The RepairCoverage process can be run to repair any corruption found. See Repair Coverage for more information on this process.

When performing validation using a process model file, the validation results will be output as one of the following ports:

Issue(s) found, which is used if any current validation checks identified an issue with the input coverage. For this port, the RepairCoverage process should be the next process in the model.

No issues found, used if none of the current validation checks identified an issue with the input coverage.

A sample process model file is provided with the installation for this process.
