I need third party image tiles (probably world imagery) under sweref99_1800 projection and coordinate system (EPSG 3008). I found this link http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-raster-data/10m-cross-blend-hypso/ for downloading world imagery but it is in spherical mercator projection (EPSG 4326). Is there any link from where we can download world imagery in sweref99_1800 format.

OR

is it possible to change the projection and coordinate system of image tiles (world imagery) from spherical mercator(EPSG 4326) to swereff99_1800 format (EPSG 3008) ?

  • Note 4326 is not a spherical mercator projection, it's unprojected lat/lon (or lon/lat).

  • Spherical mercator is defined as EPSG:3857 (and some other too).

From spatialreference.org I can see that you'll need to clip your image to 10.5700, 55.2000, 24.1800, 69.1000 first then warp it. (see the faq) 

gdalwarp -projwin 10.5700 69.1000 24.1800 55.2000 -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:3008 yourfile.tif outfile.tif

  • Thanks for this useful information. As i understand, -projwin will extract a small window (a part of imagery)with 10.57, 55.200, 24.180, 69.100 bounding box from world imagery and then will change the projection/coordinate system to 3008. Am i write in my understanding ?

  • that is correct

What you want is to project the image. You can do so by installing the GDAL package and using gdalwarp.

In your case, you would run this command

gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:3008 yourfile.tif outfile.tif

You can play around with the various resampling methods (bilinear, cubic, cubicspline, lanczos) to see which produces the best results.

    This will not work with a worldwide source file, because SWEREF like every transverse mercator projection will produce artefacts outside its area of definition.
