Missing CRS declaration
Data qualityA geometry file with no CRS metadata forces an assumption (usually WGS84); if the true CRS differs, every downstream cell assignment is wrong with no detection signal.
Detection
File/feature lacks a .prj, CRS property, or EPSG code; only inferable from coordinate magnitude sanity checks.
Mitigation
- Reject files without an explicit CRS at ingest
- Sanity-check coordinate range against the assumed CRS's expected bounds before proceeding
Affected conversions
- PolygonH3 (intersects)
- PointH3
- RasterH3
