Vraag over tif- en tfw-bestanden?

Question

<\/HEAD>Hallo!<\/P> Ik heb een tif-bestand en (in dezelfde map) een bijbehorend tfw-bestand dat de juiste coördinaten voor het tif-bestand zou moeten geven. Maar wanneer ik het tif-bestand open in Arc-map, worden de juiste coördinaten niet weergegeven, in feite is het referentiesysteem "undefined". Hoe krijg ik het juiste referentiesysteem voor mijn tif-bestand? Ik ben nieuw met Arc-map, dus een beetje hulp zou geweldig zijn!<\/P> <\/P> \/Pontus <\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Thank you all!

Great tips! The reference system was somehow wrong defined, but It's solved now!

To expand on Chris' answer a little bit, a world file describes the cell size, any rotations, and the coordinates of the lower left corner of the raster. Here's an example from Wikipedia:

32.0

0.0

-32.0

691200.0

4576000.0

There's no information on the coordinate system, and it could be any UTM zone, a bunch of Gauss-Kruger zones, and probably a few other things. There's no way to know, unless the coordinate system is also defined in the TIFF, you have knowledge of the coordinate system, or can pick a likely coordinate system based on your knowledge of the location that the data represents.

Besides the suggestion by Jake Skinner, I would check to see if the imagery actually already has a projection assigned.  Use ArcCatalog to check the properties. My guess given your symptoms is that it does not.  The world file( tfw) often only provides the correct location if it was already in the correct projection.  Since it likely has no projection....
