<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

href="http://www.lizardtech.com/" eudora=autourl> www.lizardtech.com</a>) that
allows you to mosaic and reproject .sid images in one step. The trial
download allows you to work with images that already are in .sid format without
problems. That way you don't need to go from MrSID to GeoTiff and make a
large mosaic as a .sid image.<br>

Matt,<br>
<br>
A couple of approaches would be:<br>
<br>
o Use gdal_merge to merge the TIFFs before<br>
reprojecting them. Then gdalwarp the resulting<br>
mosaic.<br>
<br>
o Or create a big WGS84 mosaic file and gdalwarp<br>
each non-WGS84 file into that, mosaicing at the<br>
same time as reprojecting.<br>
<br>
In the future gdalwarp will support multiple input<br>
files, essentially replacing gdal_merge for many<br>
purposes. This is already in CVS if you were building<br>
from source. Another option would be to generate a<br>
nodata value or better yet an alpha channel in the files<br>
output by gdalwarp to keep track of the nodata pixels.<br>
<br>
My suggestion would be the top most option, mosaic<br>
then reproject. Keep in mind that GeoTIFF only<br>
supports file sizes up to 4GB. So if your mosaic is<br>
going to be large, you may need to do it in a format<br>
like Erdas Imagine.<br>
