The easiest way to do this for 1 or 2 reasonably sized rasters is to simply write a very short KML file that points to the image name and defines its geographic extents. If you have to do it for hundreds of files, then scripting it is much faster. I can send you a short Perl script that uses gdalinfo to determine the extents. Here is what the KML should look like:
<GroundOverlay> <description>Something pithy</description> <name>Something else pithy</name> <visibility>1</visibility> <open>1</open> <Icon> <href>"name_of_image_file"</href> </Icon> <drawOrder>0</drawOrder> <LatLonBox> <north> DD.dddd</north> <south> DD.dddd</south> <west> DD.dddd</west> <east> DD.dddd</east> </LatLonBox> </GroundOverlay> Roger -- On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 11:14 AM, Andrew Lewin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I would like to export raster files to a Google Earth image (kmz or kml). > Does anyone know how this is done?
