GeoTiff --> WKT produces unhelpful WKT for invalid GeoTiff

[mrosen]

We're using liblas which uses GDAL to convert from a LAS file's GTIF to a WKT. Some files include invalid GTIF constructs. But,

• GDAL returns a valid but unhelpful WKT
• OSR::Validate() says this is OK

Here's the GeoTiff information:

Geotiff_Information:

Version: 1 Key_Revision: 1.0 Tagged_Information:

End_Of_Tags.

Keyed_Information:

GTModelTypeGeoKey (Short,0):

End_Of_Keys.

Here's the corresponding WKT: "LOCAL_CS["unnamed",UNIT["unknown",1]]"

Do you have a suggestion about what kind of WKT GDAL should return in this case?

Not enough information for knowing what to fix if there is anything. Closing.
