Hello GDALers, I have a question about reading USGS 3DEP (3D Elevation Program) data. Inside of this data, a GEOTIFF tag 42114 is provided which is causing problems with datum shifts.
So when I use GDAL to compute the datum shifts, the tag is read and interprets that the DEM is showing elevation in 'feet' while the DEM is actually in metres. The DEMs are in fact in meter elevations and meter UTM horizontal coordinates. This is obviously erroneously integrated into the tag. So my question is whether anyone has come across this issue and found a solution? Is there a way to edit the offending tag so that it is correctly interpreted as metres instead of feet? Other potential solutions so that GDAL interprets the elevation correctly? Thanks in advance for your help. I provide below the output of gdalinfo which I hope could help with the offending info in bold.
