- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- group=name
- Name of input imagery group
- order=integer
- Rectification polynomial order

- format=string[,string,...]
- Output format
- Options: idx,src,dst,fwd,rev,fxy,rxy,fd,rd
- Default: fd,rd
- idx: point index
- src: source coordinates
- dst: destination coordinates
- fwd: forward coordinates (destination)
- rev: reverse coordinates (source)
- fxy: forward coordinates difference (destination)
- rxy: reverse coordinates difference (source)
- fd: forward error (destination)
- rd: reverse error (source)
- coords=name
- File containing coordinates to transform ("-" to read from stdin)
- Local x,y coordinates to target east,north
DESCRIPTION
g.transform is an utility to compute transformation
based upon GCPs and output error measurements.
NOTES
For coordinates given with the coords file option or fed from
stdin, the input format is "x y" with one coordinate pair per
line.
The transformations are:
order=1:
e = [E0 E1][1].[1]
[E2 0][e] [n]
n = [N0 N1][1].[1]
[N2 0][e] [n]
order=2:
e = [E0 E1 E3][1 ] [1 ]
[E2 E4 0][e ].[n ]
[E5 0 0][e²] [n²]
n = [N0 N1 N3][1 ] [1 ]
[N2 N4 0][e ].[n ]
[N5 0 0][e²] [n²]
order=3:
e = [E0 E1 E3 E6][1 ] [1 ]
[E2 E4 E7 0][e ].[n ]
[E5 E8 0 0][e²] [n²]
[E9 0 0 0][e³] [n³]
n = [N0 N1 N3 N6][1 ] [1 ]
[N2 N4 N7 0][e ].[n ]
[N5 N8 0 0][e²] [n²]
[N9 0 0 0][e³] [n³]
["." = dot-product, (AE).N = N'EA.]
In other words, order=1 and order=2 are equivalent to order=3 with
the higher coefficients equal to zero.
