Brian, thanks fot the info. I have seen that on all tests I made (without -te option). Sometimes it fails completely, and sometimes it creates an extent that is too large.
Would it make sense, if the geolocation SRS and target are SRS are the same (e.g. WGS84), to calculate the target extents from the min/max of the geolocation arrays? Current extent detection code seems to try many transformations with proj4, and either fails or creates an extent that is too large. regards, Etienne On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 8:46 PM, Brian Case <r...@winkey.org> wrote: > Etienne > with the transformer the way it sits now, in most cases you will need to > specify -te xmin ymin xmax ymax with gdalwarp to avoid that error > > Brian > > > On Tue, 2012-02-07 at 19:22 -0200, Etienne Tourigny wrote: >> Even, Frank, >> >> thanks for your answers.
