Hello everyone!

Some time ago I've asked about problems with gdalwarp (the e-mails below). I tried to utilize Python binding instead but got the same results. This brief script overlays the Europe map (GeoTIFF with geotransform) onto a MERIS images (PDS file with GCPs). But the result looks wrong again - the map is very small and apperas in the upper left corner (attached file).

GCPfile='MER_RR__2PNPDK20030809_100609_000022512018_00466_07534_3898.N1'
geotransformfile = 'europe.tif'
outfile = 'colocated.tif'

# open input datasets
src_ds = gdal.Open(geotransformfile)
dst_ds = gdal.Open(GCPfile)

# create writable copy of the destination image
driver = gdal.GetDriverByName( "GTiff" )
out_ds = driver.CreateCopy(outfile, dst_ds, 0 )

# reproject onto destination image with GCPs
gdal.ReprojectImage(src_ds, out_ds)

Can you please confirm that this is a bug in GDAL? If so I will issue a bug report.

Thank you in advance!
Anton

PS. If the GCPs in the destination image are replaced with a GeoTransfrom generated using the gdal.GCPsToGeoTransform() function, the result looks much better but the image is still rather distorted. Which is understandable because curvature of a MERIS images (given by GCPs) cannot be fully explained by few numbers in the geotransform.

Hi!

I'm not sure but probably my question is related to the one below.
I'm trying to mosaic one MODIS images onto another with GDAL:

gdal_translate
HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/Data/sat/GDAL_test/MYD021KM.A2011228.0925.005.2011229003113.hdf":MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_1KM_RefSB
-b 1 /data/modis1.tif

gdal_translate
HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/Data/sat/GDAL_test/MOD021KM.A2011229.1125.005.2011229195243.hdf":MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_1KM_RefSB
-b 1 /data/modis2.tif

gdalwarp modis1.tif modis2.tif

Bu the results looks weird - the first image is on top of the second one
but it is very small, distorted and in the top-left corner (though they
cover approximately the same area).

Do I understand right that such operation would work only when the
target image georeference is defined by GeoTransform and not by GCPs?

Can I also ask if it is a big work to include ability of GDAL to warp
onto grid with GCPs (or RPC or geolocation array) ? And if it is planned
in some future?

Thank you!
Anton

Hi,

Hróbjartur Þorsteinsson explained to me a near-hidden feature of GDAL,
namely to reproject one image onto the coverage of another.

Given two images:
imageA.tiff
imageB.tiff

Then an empty image can be created from image A with e.g.
$ gdal_translate -ot Float32 -scale 0 0 999 999 -a_nodata 999
imageA.tiff domainA.tiff

And then imageB can be warped onto the extent of this image simply with:
$ gdalwarp imageB.tiff domainA.tiff

domainA.tiff will then contain the data from imageB, exactly co-located
with imageA.

The problem is that this only works when imageA contains a geotransform,
and not when it contains only GCPs.


So my question is:
Is there any workaround to warp data from one image onto another image
which is geolocated by GCPs only?



With the -to option of gdalwarp it is possible to pass some parameters
to GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2(). In the documentation of this
function I find the following option:

"METHOD: may have a value which is one of GEOTRANSFORM, GCP_POLYNOMIAL,
GCP_TPS, GEOLOC_ARRAY, RPC to force only one geolocation method to be
considered on the source dataset."
http://www.gdal.org/gdal__alg_8h.html#94cd172f78dbc41d6f407d662914f2e3

But there is no corresponding option to force use of GCP_POLYNOMIAL for
the *destination* dataset. I guess this is a bad sign?


Thank you for any help!
