[gdal-dev] New to Gdal and NITF

[Thomas Juntunen]

NITF is a format designed to wrap various metadata sets into a package with
some number of raster layers. It isn't necessarily straightforward to
build. I suggest you have a look at the specifications:
https://gwg.nga.mil/ntb/baseline/documents.html

There's also a Wikipedia article that provides a decent summary:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Imagery_Transmission_Format

I don't use C# but there's an example in the GDAL/OGR Python cookbook that
worked for me (I used the NITF driver instead of the GTiff):

Good luck,
Thomas
