Question

Detecting Projection From Raster

S

I'm trying to determine the projections of some old maps, but I can't seem to figure out a fast way to do it. I know the brute force method, Googling endlessly, etc. The detectproj application works ok, but it's not centralized and can be kind of tedious when working with multiple maps. Does anyone know if FME has tools for detecting projections of raster images?

Hi @siyengar​ 

 

Did you try to use the transformer CoordinateSystemExtractor?

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Yes, but because this is plainly an image from an online library, it is not georeferenced, and therefore has no projection/CRS associated with it.
