Why gdalwarp is giving two different results on the same file?


I am using GDAL (GDAL 1.9.2, released 2012/10/08) to change of EPSG referential on a GeoTiff file. I do the exact same command on two different computers (with the same version of GDAL and tiff libraries). And I get two different results... I am out of options, any idea ? Any place I should have a look ?

Command :

gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:3975 -t_srs EPSG:4326 input.tif output.tif

Input file :

Solution

  • Thanks to GDAL dev mailing list, I found the responsible :

    On one side I had : proj-4 v7.0-1

    On the other (on the computer with expecting results) : proj-4 v8.0-3

    With proj-4 v8.0-3 on both computers, I get the same results.
