Description

Desired behavior

Automatically determine world dimensions of a non-Earth DEM. Currently, code sets world size to -1 when it is not able to transform coordinate system to WGS84.

Implementation suggestion

See https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-common/pull/292#issuecomment-1019004180
