Hi Glenn,
From the looks of your coordinates, UTM Zone 40N would be a good choice
for a projected SRS.
It should actually be UTM zone 32V, unless I made a mistake somewhere.
It's the tip of the Norwegian peninsula.
The -a_srs argument will accept many things
including PROJ4, WKT, or a file containing a WKT.
Try this:
gdal_translate -a_srs "+proj=utm +zone=40 +datum=WGS84" infile outfile
I tried that, using 32 instead of 40.
gdal_translate -a_srs "+proj=utm +zone=32 +datum=WGS84" 32V.tif
32V_wgs84.tif
It doesn't seem to change much, the model generated by vpb and then
loaded still seems to be using the latitude/longitude in degrees as
units (it's about 9 units by 8 units in size).
I'm using this command to generate the model:
osgdem -d 32V_wgs84.tif --POLYGONAL --LOD -v 0.0001 -l 8 -o
database/32V_wgs84.osg
gdalinfo on the new file gives:
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: 32V_wgs84.tif
