NAME
gdaltransform - Transforms coordinates.
SYNOPSIS
gdaltransform [--help-general]
[-i] [-s_srs srs_def] [-t_srs srs_def] [-to "NAME=VALUE"]
[-ct proj_string] [-order n] [-tps] [-rpc] [-geoloc]
[-gcp pixel line easting northing [elevation]]* [-output_xy]
[srcfile [dstfile]]
DESCRIPTION
The gdaltransform utility reprojects a list of coordinates into any
supported projection,including GCP-based transformations.
-s_srs <srs_def>
Set source spatial reference. The coordinate systems that can
be passed are anything supported by the OGRSpatialReference.Set-
FromUserInput() call, which includes EPSG PCS and GCSes (i.e.
EPSG:4296), PROJ.4 declarations (as above), or the name of a
.prj file containing well known text.
-t_srs <srs_def>
set target spatial reference. The coordinate systems that can
be passed are anything supported by the OGRSpatialReference.Set-
FromUserInput() call, which includes EPSG PCS and GCSes (i.e.
EPSG:4296), PROJ.4 declarations (as above), or the name of a
.prj file containing well known text.
-ct <string>
A PROJ string (single step operation or multiple step string
starting with +proj=pipeline), a WKT2 string describing a Coor-
dinateOperation, or a urn:ogc:def:coordinateOperation:EPSG::XXXX
URN overriding the default transformation from the source to the
target CRS. It must take into account the axis order of the
source and target CRS.
New in version 3.0.
-to NAME=VALUE
set a transformer option suitable to pass to GDALCreateGenImg-
ProjTransformer2().
-order <n>
order of polynomial used for warping (1 to 3). The default is to
select a polynomial order based on the number of GCPs.
-tps Force use of thin plate spline transformer based on available
GCPs.
-rpc Force use of RPCs.
-geoloc
Force use of Geolocation Arrays.
-i Inverse transformation: from destination to source.
-gcp <pixel> <line> <easting> <northing> [<elevation>]
Provide a GCP to be used for transformation (generally three or
more are required)
-output_xy
Restrict output to "x y" instead of "x y z"
<srcfile>
File with source projection definition or GCP's. If not given,
source projection is read from the command-line -s_srs or -gcp
parameters
<dstfile>
File with destination projection definition.
Coordinates are read as pairs, triples (for 3D,) or (since GDAL 3.0.0,)
quadruplets (for X,Y,Z,time) of numbers per line from standard input,
transformed, and written out to standard output in the same way. All
transformations offered by gdalwarp are handled, including gcp-based
ones.
Note that input and output must always be in decimal form. There is
currently no support for DMS input or output.
If an input image file is provided, input is in pixel/line coordinates
on that image. If an output file is provided, output is in pixel/line
coordinates on that image.
EXAMPLES
Reprojection Example
Simple reprojection from one projected coordinate system to another:
gdaltransform -s_srs EPSG:28992 -t_srs EPSG:31370
177502 311865
Produces the following output in meters in the "Belge 1972 / Belgian
Lambert 72" projection:
244510.77404604 166154.532871342 -1046.79270555763
Image RPC Example
The following command requests an RPC based transformation using the
RPC model associated with the named file. Because the -i (inverse)
flag is used, the transformation is from output georeferenced (WGS84)
coordinates back to image coordinates.
gdaltransform -i -rpc 06OCT20025052-P2AS-005553965230_01_P001.TIF
125.67206 39.85307 50
Produces this output measured in pixels and lines on the image:
3499.49282422381 2910.83892848414 50
X,Y,Z,time transform
15-term time-dependent Helmert coordinate transformation from ITRF2000
to ITRF93 for a coordinate at epoch 2000.0
