Hi Glenn,
Bottom line: if you use VPB to build a terrain in UTM zone 32 (or
whatever), you will need to do no coordinate conversion.
I'm currently doing some tests with some data I got from
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/2minrelief.html (pretty low res, but
I'm just testing). The problem I have is that the data's positions seem
to be in latitude/longitude in degrees, and I'd like to convert it to
what I'm expecting (meters). I'm not very familiar with the tools (I
assume GDAL and/or PROJ can do this), so I'd appreciate a hand :-)
gdalinfo gives me this for the file I have:
Driver: EHdr/ESRI .hdr Labelled
Files: Hellobob_5209.bin
Hellobob_5209.hdr
Size is 271, 241
Coordinate System is `'
Origin = (2.983333335000000,64.016665864999993)
Pixel Size = (0.033333330000000,-0.033333330000000)
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left ( 2.9833333, 64.0166659)
Lower Left ( 2.9833333, 55.9833333)
Upper Right ( 12.0166658, 64.0166659)
Lower Right ( 12.0166658, 55.9833333)
Center ( 7.4999996, 59.9999996)
Band 1 Block=271x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Undefined
NoData Value=999999
So as you can see, ~(3, 56) to ~(12,64) in degrees.
I'd like to have that in meters in the right place on the Earth... How
would I do that? On the gdal_translate man page I see the option a_srs
overrides the projection of the output file, but I have no idea what the
argument should be.
Thanks in advance,
J-S
