Installing MrSid as GEOTiff in WWJ WMS

[tucher]

Can anyone assist in installing some MrSid Imagery into WWJ WMS server?
Am I going about this the best way? Here's what I have so far.

I'm using the World Wind Imagery and Elevation Installation Tool described here: http://goworldwind.org/importing-data/

I've successfully installed some GEOTiff files and serving them via WWJ wms server.

I now have some MrSid files I need to convert to GEOTiff (I assume) and add to my wms server. I converted a MrSid file to Tiff using the following LizardTech tool and command:

mrsidgeocode -i t1607.sid -o t1607_out.tif

output:
input:
width: 11974
height: 19192
upper-left X: 519265.534616
upper-left Y: 3382199.197691
X scale: 0.289600
Y scale: -0.289600

output:
width: 11974
height: 19192
upper-left X: 519265.534616
upper-left Y: 3382199.197691
X scale: 0.289600
Y scale: -0.289600
format: TIFF
100.0%


GDAL info on the file is :


C:\Program Files\GDAL>gdalinfo t1607_out.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: t1607_out.tif

Band 2 Block=11974x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green

I then renamed the associated .sdw file to .tfw. Since the coordinate system is missing I used the following GDAL command:

gdal_translate -a_srs WGS84 t1607_out.tif new4326.tif

I checked the file with gdalinfo. Output is:

Although I can view the image, the World Wind Imagery and Elevation Installation Tool fails when I try to install. No error message, just an empty JOptionPane. I tried the to translate the same image with the following command but received error "Too many command options".

gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs EPSG:4326 -gcp x(longitude

Do a search for MrSid
I found 35 so you may find something there.

I have never used mrsidgeocode so can't help there.

I did quite a bit of tiling with dstile but don't have that set up on this computer.
What you have with gdalinfo doesn't look right.

Upper Left ( 519265.390, 3382199.342) (Invalid angle,Invalid angle)
I don't recall for sure but lat and lon may need to be in decimal degrees.

"SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563," seems to be OK
a=6378137,b=6356752.3142,f=1/298.257223563; as major and minor semi axis is a and b.

I must have searched the forum incorrectly first go-around, I did not get 35 hits, so I'm at square one now.

It appears the World Wind Imagery and Elevation Installation demo is capable of importing some MrSID imagery (noaa13281.zip) but complains "Geographic region not specified" with ortho_mrsid_brampton_2007.zip

This is the same error I get when trying to import my MrSID imagery and is reason I initially tried to convert and translate my MrSID imagery manually. Maybe I do not need to do that. Looks like I need to debug installation demo first.

Hello
I have the same issue. I'm trying to import mrsid imagery in the ImportImagery sample, but Gdal complains that "Geographic region is not specified".
I assume it is in the other file (sdw), but how to open it?

Have you succeed to use MrSid imagery directly?

Hello,
I am trying to install new elevations with a .bil. I install my file with the InstallImageryAndElevationsDemo.jnlp but when I run the sourcecode It is not working, It also complains "Geographic region is not specified" How can I fix this problem?
