Huajun Zhang,

A projection can be attached to an image in the process of translating
it if the existing projection is wrong or if the input image lacks one
entirely.

For instance,

gdal_translate -a_srs '+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84' in.tif out.tif

Is this the sort of operation you had in mind?

Best regards,
