URL: http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/G-M/bitmap/viewers/print.php/c9187__1/
this article covers the following topics:
- Working with the Map Projection Library
- Map projections
- Using the map projection library
- Forward projections
- Inverse projections
- Projections without the library
- Working with the GeoTIFF Library
- Common tags and variants
- Displaying Geo-referenced Images
- 2D image display
- 3D image display
- Additional information about the sample project
The goal is to implement the following capabilities:
- Load a GeoTIFF image file into a DIB section and decode the geo-referencing information
- Show the image in 2D and display the geographic and UTM coordinates of the mouse location and enable the use to select points
- Show a 3D perspective image of the GeoTIFF and enable the user to select points on the 3D view
- Display a first person and non–first-person fly through of the image, similar to those shown on cable news shows
