Stephane,

The TXP doesn't explicitly contain its projection. You need to go back to
the TerraVista project. We can make an educated guess though; Where is your
database? City, country?

As for converting the lat/lon, OSG does not do this natively. You can use
OGR (http://gdal.org/ogr/) which is part of GDAL. Or (shameless plug) use
the osgGIS library (http://osggis.org) which has a SpatialReference class
that encapsulates OGR/PROJ4 coordinate conversion.
