[gdal-dev] map info and projections from GeoTIFF file to create ENVI header

Thank you Dmitry,
What is the best way to extract the information we got using gdalinfo.exe by using GDAL classes, within a C++ code? As I mentioned, I am using GetGeoTransform and GetProjectionRef() but the results miss many of the information (specifically the map info elements as I explained in the previous email). 

On another note, I actually get a different output from gdalinfo.exe using my file (please see the printed result below). I got the geotiff file from my colleague. When I open the file with ENVI, I get all the information, including GEOGCS information. 

Can it be that my file is just corrupted and that's why I don't get all the information from GetGeoTransform and GetProjectionRef()? But then how would ENVI is able to extract this information if it were not in the file?

Thanks again, - Nevzat

Hi Nevzat,

The landsat geotiff already have CRS embeded in file

And this is right CRS.
Where do you get you geotiff?

Best regards,
