Hi fellow OSGers,
I was wondering if I could ask some questions about GIS in general on
this list. I know there are some really knowledgeable people on this
list (Glenn, I'm looking at you!). We have no one here who has any
expertise in this subject... :-)
In one of the subprojects of our current project, we get some
coordinates for objects from a network feed, in "UTM projected using
ED50 based on international 1924 spheroid, on zone 32". We'd need to use
those to position objects in a given world space, and I was wondering if
there was a general way to convert such values to something that we can
use in OSG.
I suspect values such as "Easting" and "Northing" are not really linear,
since they map to a sphere (note that as I said, I'm a total newbie to
this). Also, the coordinate standard used could potentially change in
mid-project, which is why I'd like a general way.
Can GDAL do this? Can osgGIS? Would that be the way you would recommend
doing it? For now we just need conversion of coordinates, but eventually
we could need more, so if using osgGIS in our project would scale well,
we'll possibly do that.
Thanks in advance,
J-S
