I have a bunch of WWII Aerial images that I georeferenced in ArcMap and when I load them in Imagine they are being displayed as plain rasters. I tried the Import Data tool, converted the georeferenced JPG files to IMG files, but still, when I load the IMG files, they do not keep their location.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

  • What do you mean Plain rasters ? Do you mean they showed white in colors ?

  • By plain raster I mean they were just like loading a not gereofed raster, one on top of each other. Had encountered the issue with white, but after converting the JPG to IMG format everything was OK.

    JPG format does not preserve the georeferencing. You nedd to export/save your images in jpg2000 or Geotiff or IMG before doing geometric correction. Then start geoferencing your images and open them in ERDAS

    I do not recommend using Jpg2000, you may have problems with it so I'd suggest you use IMG. Also, what version are you using ? I'd use Imagine AutoSync, I am not sure if they still have it with their latest software/versions. Do you have WWII Aerial Images known coordinates ? Where is that Aerial photos taken place ?

  • @ahmadhanb I have tried this but the error is next: "Spheroid name not found based on the given datum name", I am using RD_New projection,EPSG:28992, which exists in among erdas available projections.

I made it work by converting it to IMG file format and loading it to Imagine. When I got the error ""Spheroid name not found based on the given datum name", I right cliked the raster, access "Metadata", went to edit menu, access "add/change projection", went to "Custom" tab and in the lower left corner there is a box where you can search for a projection using the EPSG code. Used the code (28992 in my case) and everything was alright after that.
