Thanks to Paul and Micha for the help.
About this: I defined my location using this image but instead of being
reprojected with PROJ4 extension I used EPSG:3763 and then r.in.gdal. Then,
using the same original image (in UTM) I reprojected to this CRS but using
PROj4 extension (showed in my original message).
What is the correct one? the bellow expression or the EPSG:3763 in order to
reproject an image?
It depends on what the original co-ordinate system of the image was. If it
was in a different datum from ETRS89 or a different ellipsoid from
GRS80/WGS84 (which is the datum/ellipsoid of your GRASS location), then
there will be small errors in the reprojection because you didn't specify
a datum for the target co-ordinate system.
You can check the co-ordinate system of the original image by running:
g.proj -p georef=L71203033_03320001023_B10.TIF
If the two datums are the same (for our purposes it is reasonable to say
this if the two ellipsoids are the same, or the difference is very small
(e.g. GRS80 and WGS84)) then there is no problem at all. But in general
you should specify the datum when doing a reprojection or warping as it
can be important.
It was only a warning. It imported the image nevertheless, without using -o
option.
And when I run r.in.gdal I get this warning:
Datum <unknown> not recognised by GRASS and no parameters found
Projection of input dataset and current location appear to match
Yes the first line is a warning coming from the GRASS gproj library as it
is converting the co-ordinate system; the second is simply an
informational message from r.in.gdal - nothing to worry about there.
