I'm attempting to put aircraft scan data into geotiffs (1-3
scanlines each) and then use gdal_merge.py to combine them into one
large geotiff that has the entire aircraft's path. The scan lines
are 15 pixels wide and taken every 10 seconds, the geotiffs are
wgs84 lat/lon, and I have lat/lon values for each pixel. To handle
the case when the aircraft isn't flying straight north I think I
have to use the 2 rotation parameters in the affine geotransform, is
that right? I don't have any test cases, but I think if I don't use
rotation anything that reads the geotiff will think that the image
is square(aligned) in lat/lon space.<br>
<br>
Whether or not I need to use this, can someone explain to me how to
use the rotation coefficients? What are the actual values of the
coefficients supposed to be? I couldn't find a good example and I
couldn't get any basic situations to make sense, like a 2x3 array
turned 45 degrees. I used these equations:<br>
<pre> Xgeo = GT(0) + Xpixel*GT(1) + Yline*GT(2)
Ygeo = GT(3) + Xpixel*GT(4) + Yline*GT(5)</pre>
<br>
And lastly, does gdal_merge.py handle rotation? I checked the
source and it doesn't ever seem to use elements 2 and 4 in its
calculations.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
