[gdal-dev] GeoTIFF gdalwarp puzzle

Hi,

I think it is not bad luck but something weird in GDAL 3.3. I tried again with version 3.3.1 from OSGeo4W and just like you I got also less pixels into output:

gdalwarp -t_srs epsg:4326 "Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif" caribbean_4326_2.tif
Copying color table from Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif to new file.
Creating output file that is 18714P x 10830L.

But this warped image is not at all the same than the one produced with GDAL 3.4. The image lacks all the legends etc. but not only those. I wonder is the TIFF file has been written in some special way on several pages or something.

...And it works fine for me in 3.4.0 as well.  Guess I just got unlucky with the GDAL 3.3.x series!

Thanks,

Partially answering myself:

I just tried again with GDAL 2.4.4 (2020/01/08) that I have on my system as part of MS4W and it works!

I have a way forward now.  I'm still going to build GDAL 3.4.0 and try it there.

Thanks a lot,

carl

Thanks for checking, Jukka.

I am using GDAL 3.3.3 and get a smaller range:

d:\gdal-3.3.3\bin64\gdalwarp.exe  -t_srs epsg:4326 "Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif" caribbean_4326.tif
Copying color table from Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif to new file.
Creating output file that is 18714P x 10830L.
Processing Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif [1/1] : 0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

Is there a bug fix between 3.3.3 and 3.4.0 that could account for this?

Meanwhile, I'll try to get GDAL 3.4.0 going here.  Thanks,

carl

Hi,

Works for me on Windows with GDAL 3.4.0dev and Oct 07 2021 version of the file.

gdalwarp -t_srs epsg:4326 "Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif" caribbean_4326.tif
Copying color table from Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif to new file.
Creating output file that is 18583P x 12118L.
Processing Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif [1/1] : 0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

The map in caribbean_4326.tif is complete.

Hi,

I'm working with some aviation charts and found one that behaves in a puzzling manner.
This page https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/vfr/
has two Caribbean VFR charts in GeoTIFF format.

I have been trying to run gdalwarp on "Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif" but I only ever get a small area out of the map instead of the whole extent.  Specifically this command gives me just a smaller area output GeoTIFF:

gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 "Caribbean 2 VFR Chart.tif" out.tif --debug ON

I don't see anything from the debug output that explains this.

The other chart, "Caribbean 1 VFR Chart.tif," does not behave this way, though the debug output from the same gdalwarp operation is much longer.

I can't see anything wrong.

I dragged both files into ArcGIS desktop explorer and both are displayed in the proper location and in their entirety.

(I actually have a more elaborate workflow that works fine with chart #1 but this is the simplest operation I can think of that shows the problem with chart #2.)

Thank you very much,
carl
