[gdal-dev] best way to compare in a numpy table the values of two images with different projection

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Matthieu,

Looks like you are finally reprojecting the image, perhaps to the projection
of image B. Reprojection is costly. I suggest performing it on A instead of
B. Let us know how it goes.
