[GRASS-dev] G7: v.loutlier Decomposition failed

Hi

Maybe it is not of importance, because no one else would use such extreme settings, but in case someone considers it as a bug:

I was testing a bit with v.outlier in GRASS 7 on dense LiDAR data (~4 points per m2).

When I use a very low Tykhonov regularization parameter (lambda_i) of 0.0000000000000000001 and rather short spline steps (1.5) at 0.5m resolution I get an error-message:

“Decomposition failed at row 16499 and col 0”

Stefan

Are those bare earth points only, or are you feeding it the entire point cloud?

I fed just points which where classified as “ground”, but which I know do contain vegetation…

I found similar errors with very small lambda values, i guess it's
some floating point precision limit. It seems that lambda should not
be much smaller than 0.0001. For v.outlier, I would leave lambda at
the default and rather use shorter spline steps, if you want to
fine-tune the results.
