Try omitting the s_srs portion of the gdalwarp command to see if that makes any difference.
I believe dted files will need to be reprojected as well since VPB builds the database using the source data coordinate system. -Shayne -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Atilla Selem Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 12:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [osg-users] [vpb] Flat Database Generation in Meters reallyshocked me when i load it to my osg application..!!! Hi Shayne, Hi Glenn, Thanks for ur kind replies.. Shayne, As you know MyTerrain.tif file projection info was; Geographic ( Latitude / Longitude ) [N:36, E128] [N:38, E130] is in Utm Zone 52 Datum : WGS84 Unit : Arc degrees. i tried to reproject MyTerrain.tif file using ur gdalwarp command like this.. gdalwarp -s_srs "proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -t_srs "proj=utm +zone=52 +datum=WGS84" MyTerrain.tif MyTerrainUtm.tif command prompt displayed such an error; ERROR 1 : Translating source or target SRS failed: proj=latlong +datum=WGS84 Is gdalwarp command true in terms of parameters? And one more question.. Should i run gdalwarp command for each of my dted-2 files which have Geographic projection before using osgdem? Thanks a lot, Atilla.
