If you are able to create a tile index and it looks alright when viewed in a
gis application (open ev, arcgis etc..) then I would check out the name of
the field containing the paths (and the paths as well) to the images. In my
experiance gdaltindex creates a field named "location" not "Location". If
you want to check your extent use ogrinfo on your tile index.
ogrinfo -al -so thm_dir.shp
I hope this helps

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Image tilling
What I am trying to do is to georeference aerial photos of a large area,
eventually the entire earth. So what I need is to be able to specify the
lat/long of each photo (which I have) using only the lat/long coordinate
system. I would like the user to be able to specify a bounding box
(lat/long)
for a given area then have my mapserver return all the available images for
that given area. Currently I think that I can use:
gdal_translate -a_ullr 180 0 210 -30 thm_dir_N-30_180.png
thm_dir_N-30_180.tiff
To georeference all of my photos, then:
gdaltindex thm_dir.shp *.tif
To create a shape file with an index of all the photos, then I can specify
my
layer in the mapfile as:
LAYER
NAME "tileindex"
STATUS ON
TILEINDEX "thm_dir.shp"
TILEITEM "Location"
TYPE RASTER
END
But when I display this layer in MapServer I get a blank image, and when I
try
to view the shape file in ArcMap I can see my tiles but they are just
displayed
as blank polygons with no images. I think that my problem is incorrectly
specifying the EXTENT in the map file, but i am not sure what i should put
if i
want my tiles to eventually cover then entire world.
Thanks,
