Wei,

GeoTransform[3] is the the Y origin, that is the Y value of the top left
corner of the top left pixel.    In a normal georeferenced image this is
the north west corner, and since "northing" (Y) increases as you move
to the north the GeoTransform[3] value will generally be the maximum Y
for the image.

So I think you just need to compute:

   MaxY = AdGeoTransform[3];
   MinY = AdGeoTransform[3] + nX*AdGeoTransform[4]+nY*AdGeoTransform[5];
