#3191 closed defect (wontfix)

coordinate reference system issue when exporting to Rasterlite

Reported by: vincent Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: normal Milestone: 7.0.6
Component: Raster Version: unspecified
Keywords: gdal export, Rasterlite Cc:
CPU: Unspecified Platform: Unspecified

Description

r.out.gdal allows to export raster data to Rasterlite tables. It looks like the output raster table lacks a correct reference to the srid it should be linked to, i.e. in the geometry_column table, srid equals -1 for the newly written raster table.

testing with gdal_translate and r.out.gdal shows

  • a simple gdal_translate from geotiff to rasterlite without assigning the srs, the resulting rasterlite db has no srs info
  • gdal_translate with e.g. -a_srs EPSG:your_epsg_code, the resulting rasterlite db has srs info.

so it seems to be a gdal "issue"; maybe it's also worth to ask in the GDAL ML?

comment:2 by vincent, 8 years ago

Yes, I've come to the same observation so far, but I don't know enough about how GRASS parses projection info to gdal; sorry for this rather naive question but in the case of GTiff driver why then is there no need to worry about coordinate reference system information for it to work?

Well, if you all prefer, we can close the ticket.

Maybe related to: #3059
Symptoms are the same...

From what I can see the driver doesn't handle adding a new entry in the 
spatial_ref_sys table if there's no AUTHORITY node, such as in your use case. 
From what I can see, it also probably doesn't properly support creating 
entries in spatial_ref_sys with Spatialite 4 layout (the driver has been 
likely developped during Spatialite 3 era)
It is "intentional" in the meaning that this wasn't implemented, but could 
potentially be added. Could be worth a ticket in Trac.

No, the workaround is the one you found. Make sure a EPSG code is attached to 
the input dataset, or assign it explictly

I think this ticket can be closed; but I'll open another one for the last issue mentioned above.

Not sure I understand: do you mean adding this "AUTHORITY node" ability to r.out.gdal may help in the present case? or is there really something wrong with gdal?

regarding "AUTHORITY node", maybe yes.

as Even mentioned, there is nothing wrong in gdal, just not implemented.
