ossim-info

ossim-info is a command line application used to display metadata for imagery, maps, terrain, and vector data. Output from ossim-info may include geometry information (corner coordinates, projection, etc), radiometry information (number of bands, bits per pixel, etc), and general file metadata (acquisition date, title, description, etc).

Usage

ossim-info [options] <inputFile>

                          files for multi image file formats
