DESCRIPTION
The gdalwarp utility is an image mosaicing, reprojection and warping
utility. The program can reproject to any supported projection, and can
also apply GCPs stored with the image if the image is 'raw' with
control information.
-s_srs srs def:
source spatial reference set. The coordinate systems that can be
passed are anything supported by the
OGRSpatialReference.SetFromUserInput() 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. Starting with
GDAL 2.2, if the SRS has an explicit vertical datum that points to
a PROJ.4 geoidgrids, and the input dataset is a single band
dataset, a vertical correction will be applied to the values of the
dataset.
-t_srs srs_def:
target spatial reference set. The coordinate systems that can be
passed are anything supported by the
OGRSpatialReference.SetFromUserInput() 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. Starting with
GDAL 2.2, if the SRS has an explicit vertical datum that points to
a PROJ.4 geoidgrids, and the input dataset is a single band
dataset, a vertical correction will be applied to the values of the
dataset.
-to NAME=VALUE:
set a transformer option suitable to pass to
GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2().
-novshiftgrid
(GDAL >= 2.2) Disable the use of vertical datum shift grids when
one of the source or target SRS has an explicit vertical datum, and
the input dataset is a single band dataset.
-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.
-et err_threshold:
error threshold for transformation approximation (in pixel units -
defaults to 0.125, unless, starting with GDAL 2.1, the RPC_DEM
warping option is specified, in which case, an exact transformer,
i.e. err_threshold=0, will be used).
-refine_gcps tolerance minimum_gcps:
(GDAL >= 1.9.0) refines the GCPs by automatically eliminating
outliers. Outliers will be eliminated until minimum_gcps are left
or when no outliers can be detected. The tolerance is passed to
adjust when a GCP will be eliminated. Not that GCP refinement only
works with polynomial interpolation. The tolerance is in pixel
units if no projection is available, otherwise it is in SRS units.
If minimum_gcps is not provided, the minimum GCPs according to the
polynomial model is used.
-te xmin ymin xmax ymax:
set georeferenced extents of output file to be created (in target
SRS by default, or in the SRS specified with -te_srs)
-te_srs srs_def:
(GDAL >= 2.0) Specifies the SRS in which to interpret the
coordinates given with -te. The srs_def may be any of the usual
GDAL/OGR forms, complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing
the WKT. This must not be confused with -t_srs which is the target
SRS of the output dataset. -te_srs is a convenience e.g. when
knowing the output coordinates in a geodetic long/lat SRS, but
still wanting a result in a projected coordinate system.
-tr xres yres:
set output file resolution (in target georeferenced units)
-tap:
(GDAL >= 1.8.0) (target aligned pixels) align the coordinates of
the extent of the output file to the values of the -tr, such that
the aligned extent includes the minimum extent.
-ts width height:
set output file size in pixels and lines. If width or height is set
to 0, the other dimension will be guessed from the computed
resolution. Note that -ts cannot be used with -tr
-ovr level|AUTO|AUTO-n|NONE>:
(GDAL >= 2.0) To specify which overview level of source files must
be used. The default choice, AUTO, will select the overview level
whose resolution is the closest to the target resolution. Specify
an integer value (0-based, i.e. 0=1st overview level) to select a
particular level. Specify AUTO-n where n is an integer greater or
equal to 1, to select an overview level below the AUTO one. Or
specify NONE to force the base resolution to be used (can be useful
if overviews have been generated with a low quality resampling
method, and the warping is done using a higher quality resampling
method).
-wo 'NAME=VALUE':
Set a warp option. The GDALWarpOptions::papszWarpOptions docs show
all options. Multiple -wo options may be listed.
-ot type:
For the output bands to be of the indicated data type.
-wt type:
Working pixel data type. The data type of pixels in the source
image and destination image buffers.
-r resampling_method:
Resampling method to use. Available methods are:
near:
nearest neighbour resampling (default, fastest algorithm, worst
interpolation quality).
bilinear:
bilinear resampling.
cubic:
cubic resampling.
cubicspline:
cubic spline resampling.
lanczos:
Lanczos windowed sinc resampling.
average:
average resampling, computes the average of all non-NODATA
contributing pixels. (GDAL >= 1.10.0)
mode:
mode resampling, selects the value which appears most often of all
the sampled points. (GDAL >= 1.10.0)
max:
maximum resampling, selects the maximum value from all non-NODATA
contributing pixels. (GDAL >= 2.0.0)
min:
minimum resampling, selects the minimum value from all non-NODATA
contributing pixels. (GDAL >= 2.0.0)
med:
median resampling, selects the median value of all non-NODATA
contributing pixels. (GDAL >= 2.0.0)
q1:
first quartile resampling, selects the first quartile value of all
non-NODATA contributing pixels. (GDAL >= 2.0.0)
q3:
third quartile resampling, selects the third quartile value of all
non-NODATA contributing pixels. (GDAL >= 2.0.0)
-srcnodata value [value...]:
Set nodata masking values for input bands (different values can be
supplied for each band). If more than one value is supplied all
values should be quoted to keep them together as a single operating
system argument. Masked values will not be used in interpolation.
Use a value of None to ignore intrinsic nodata settings on the
source dataset.
-dstnodata value [value...]:
Set nodata values for output bands (different values can be
supplied for each band). If more than one value is supplied all
values should be quoted to keep them together as a single operating
system argument. New files will be initialized to this value and if
possible the nodata value will be recorded in the output file. Use
a value of None to ensure that nodata is not defined (GDAL>=1.11).
If this argument is not used then nodata values will be copied from
the source dataset (GDAL>=1.11).
-srcalpha:
Force the last band of a source image to be considered as a source
alpha band.
-nosrcalpha:
Prevent the alpha band of a source image to be considered as such
(it will be warped as a regular band) (GDAL>=2.2).
-dstalpha:
Create an output alpha band to identify nodata (unset/transparent)
pixels.
-wm memory_in_mb:
Set the amount of memory (in megabytes) that the warp API is
allowed to use for caching.
-multi:
Use multithreaded warping implementation. Multiple threads will be
used to process chunks of image and perform input/output operation
simultaneously.
-q:
Be quiet.
-of format:
Select the output format. The default is GeoTIFF (GTiff). Use the
short format name.
-co 'NAME=VALUE':
passes a creation option to the output format driver. Multiple -co
options may be listed. See format specific documentation for legal
creation options for each format
-cutline datasource:
Enable use of a blend cutline from the name OGR support datasource.
-cl layername:
Select the named layer from the cutline datasource.
-cwhere expression:
Restrict desired cutline features based on attribute query.
-csql query:
Select cutline features using an SQL query instead of from a layer
with -cl.
-cblend distance:
Set a blend distance to use to blend over cutlines (in pixels).
-crop_to_cutline:
(GDAL >= 1.8.0) Crop the extent of the target dataset to the extent
of the cutline.
-overwrite:
(GDAL >= 1.8.0) Overwrite the target dataset if it already exists.
-nomd:
(GDAL >= 1.10.0) Do not copy metadata. Without this option, dataset
and band metadata (as well as some band information) will be copied
from the first source dataset. Items that differ between source
datasets will be set to * (see -cvmd option).
-cvmd meta_conflict_value:
(GDAL >= 1.10.0) Value to set metadata items that conflict between
source datasets (default is '*'). Use '' to remove conflicting
items.
-setci:
(GDAL >= 1.10.0) Set the color interpretation of the bands of the
target dataset from the source dataset.
-oo NAME=VALUE:
(starting with GDAL 2.0) Dataset open option (format specific)
-doo NAME=VALUE:
(starting with GDAL 2.1) Output dataset open option (format
specific)
srcfile:
The source file name(s).
dstfile:
The destination file name.
Mosaicing into an existing output file is supported if the output file
already exists. The spatial extent of the existing file will not be
modified to accommodate new data, so you may have to remove it in that
case, or use the -overwrite option.
Polygon cutlines may be used as a mask to restrict the area of the
destination file that may be updated, including blending. If the OGR
layer containing the cutline features has no explicit SRS, the cutline
features must be in the SRS of the destination file. When writing to a
not yet existing target dataset, its extent will be the one of the
original raster unless -te or -crop_to_cutline are specified.
When doing vertical shift adjustments, the transformer option -to
ERROR_ON_MISSING_VERT_SHIFT=YES can be used to error out as soon as a
vertical shift value is missing (instead of 0 being used).
EXAMPLES
· For instance, an eight bit spot scene stored in GeoTIFF with control
points mapping the corners to lat/long could be warped to a UTM
projection with a command like this:
gdalwarp-t_srs '+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84' -overwrite raw_spot.tif utm11.tif
· For instance, the second channel of an ASTER image stored in HDF with
control points mapping the corners to lat/long could be warped to a
UTM projection with a command like this:
gdalwarp-overwrite HDF4_SDS:ASTER_L1B:"pg-PR1B0000-2002031402_100_001":2 pg-PR1B0000-2002031402_100_001_2.tif
· (GDAL >= 2.2) To apply a cutline on a un-georeferenced image and clip
from pixel (220,60) to pixel (1160,690):
gdalwarp-overwrite -to SRC_METHOD=NO_GEOTRANSFORM -to DST_METHOD=NO_GEOTRANSFORM -te 220 60 1160 690 -cutline cutline.csv in.png out.tif
where cutline.csv content is like:
id,WKT
1,"POLYGON((....))"
· (GDAL >= 2.2) To transform a DEM from geoid elevations (using EGM96)
to WGS84 ellipsoidal heights:
gdalwarp-override in_dem.tif out_dem.tif -s_srs EPSG:4326+5773 -t_srs EPSG:4979
