NFW file causes NITF file to lose false northing

Description

I have an IKONOS NITF dataset with an image in Chile. The dataset includes an NFW file. When I run gdalinfo on the NITF in the context of the other IKONOS files, it loses the false northing value and puts the image in Canada's Baffin Bay. If I copy the NITF file elsewhere and run gdalinfo without the accompanying NFW file, the image has correct coordinates.

I think I have tracked down the bug to line 1463 of file "frmts/nitf/nitfdataset.cpp". To determine if the image is in the northern hemisphere, it adds up all of the latitudes and if the sum is less than zero, sets the isNorth flag to false. However, in the case of this scene, all of those values are positive due to a large false northing value. The code then moves the image into the northern hemisphere. I don't know how to extract the false northing value from the projection, so I just added a "0 &&" to the if statement so that NFW files will never be processed with NITF files.

Could you paste/attach here the output of "gdalinfo your_nitf_file", the corresponding .nfw file and the corresponding .prj file ?

comment:2 by Even Rouault, 13 years ago

I meant .hdr file (instead of .prj)

I can't understand how you can get both PROJCS["UTM Zone 19, Southern Hemisphere", and PARAMETER["false_northing",0]. What is the output of gdalinfo without any .nfw and .hdr file ? Also, if you are in position to build GDAL yourself, could you build the nitfdump utility (on Linux, cd frmts/nitf; make nitfdump ; on Windows nmake /f makefile.vc nitfdump.exe from frmts/nitf) and run nitfdump -tre on the nitf file ?

As I mentioned in my initial report, it adds up the values of the latitudes, not including the false northing, and since they are all positive, overwrites the projection information with values for the Northern Hemisphere.

Component: defaultGDAL_Raster
Keywords: nitf hdr nfw added
Milestone: 1.7.4
Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

ok, I now understand what happens. The issue was that the IGEOLO info was expressed in UTM MGRS (ICORDS = 'U') thus the dfLLY, etc.. are not latitudes but northings, always positive. The other point of confusion I had was because I was looking at the GDAL 1.8.0 codebase where I put a fix (r19313) some time ago to reset the name of the SRS (oSRSWork.Clear()) to avoid inconsistances between the SRS name and its attributes.

Should be fixed now in trunk (r21607), branches/1.8 (r21608) and branches/1.7 (r21609)
