Problem coordinates in JP2-compressed NITF

[ysiddiqui]

JPEG2000-compressed QuickBird NITF files are reported by gdalinfo (with Kakadu support) as having lat/long coordinates that are impossible. For example, the following coordinates are reported for the attached file:

Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  ( -56.8304837, -15.8165996) ( 56d49'49.74"W, 15d48'59.76"S)
Lower Left  ( -56.8309003, -15.6595117) ( 56d49'51.24"W, 15d39'34.24"S)
Upper Right (     302.995,     -15.810) (302d59'41.74"E, 15d48'37.26"S)
Lower Right (     302.995,     -15.653) (302d59'40.24"E, 15d39'11.74"S)
Center      ( 123.0820139, -15.7349306) (123d 4'55.25"E, 15d44'5.75"S)

Note the attachment is the 5 MB header of a file that is much larger.

Yusuf,

I get reasonable values with gdalinfo from the 1.5 branch (including quite a few fixes after 1.5.3). What binaries are you using? From OSGeo4W?

Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  ( -56.8304837, -15.8165996) ( 56d49'49.74"W, 15d48'59.76"S)
Lower Left  ( -56.8309003, -15.6595117) ( 56d49'51.24"W, 15d39'34.24"S)
Upper Right ( -57.0050719, -15.8103495) ( 57d 0'18.26"W, 15d48'37.26"S)
Lower Right ( -57.0054886, -15.6532615) ( 57d 0'19.76"W, 15d39'11.74"S)
Center      ( -56.9179861, -15.7349306) ( 56d55'4.75"W, 15d44'5.75"S)

I was using FWTools v2.1.0. You are right that the OSGeo4W version gives the above values. Doh!

It appears this has already been fixed in 1.5 and 1.6 and trunk. Please reopen if you find otherwise.
