c# - Getting incorrect coordinates for ortho photo using GDAL libraries?


I am very new to gis, and while most of the stuff I have is working well, this thing has me stumped.


I'm using GDAL libraries and the c# wrapper to access various gis functions. I'm processing ortho images to merge a few tiles, convert to WGS84 and then I chop the merged image into a bunch of small tiles. For the most part, this is working well, but I've come across this image which I can't get the right co-ordinate for.


PROJCS["NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Virginia_North_FIPS_4501_Feet",
GEOGCS["NAD83(HARN)",
DATUM["NAD83_High_Accuracy_Reference_Network",
SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.2572221010002,

AUTHORITY["EPSG","7019"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6152"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4152"]],
PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP"],
PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",39.2],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",38.03333333333333],
PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",37.66666666666666],
PARAMETER["central_meridian",-78.5],
PARAMETER["false_easting",37673535.76388889],

PARAMETER["false_northing",21527734.72222222],
UNIT["us_survey_feet",0.3048006096012192],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","2853"]]

I use the following code to extract co-ordinates (WGS84_STR is the WGS84 WKT):


string proj = ds.GetProjectionRef();
SpatialReference old_cs = new SpatialReference(proj);
SpatialReference new_cs = new SpatialReference(WGS84_STR);
trans = new CoordinateTransformation(old_cs, new_cs);


...then a method to return the coordinates:


...
ds.GetGeoTransform(adfGeoTransform);
dfGeoX = adfGeoTransform[0] + adfGeoTransform[1] * x + adfGeoTransform[2] * y;
dfGeoY = adfGeoTransform[3] + adfGeoTransform[4] * x + adfGeoTransform[5] * y;
trans.TransformPoint(adfGeoTransform, dfGeoX, dfGeoY, 0);
...

where x and y are the image corner offsets.


I get lat of: -14.921860233519684, and lng of: -130.08927419763472 ...which is in the Pacific Ocean somewhere, not Northern Virginia. The tile is also rotated. I wonder if someone could point out where I've gone wrong?





Source of problem found It turns out the GEOTIFF_CSV environmental variable was not set. In c#, the following code: OSGeo.GDAL.Gdal.SetConfigOption("GEOTIFF_CSV", Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + @"\gdal-data"); makes a very big difference. Now the geoTransform contains the actual lat/long.
