DESCRIPTION

       The   gdaltransform   utility   reprojects  a  list  of  coordinates  into  any  supported
       projection,including GCP-based transformations.

       -s_srs <srs_def>
              Set source spatial reference.  The  coordinate  systems  that  can  be  passed  are
              anything   supported  by  the  OGRSpatialReference.SetFromUserInput()  call,  which
              includes EPSG PCS and GCSes (i.e. EPSG:4296), PROJ.4 declarations  (as  above),  or
              the name of a .prj file containing well known text.

       -t_srs <srs_def>
              set  target  spatial  reference.   The  coordinate  systems  that can be passed are
              anything  supported  by  the  OGRSpatialReference.SetFromUserInput()  call,   which
              includes  EPSG  PCS  and GCSes (i.e. EPSG:4296), PROJ.4 declarations (as above), or
              the name of a .prj file containing well known text.

       -ct <string>
              A PROJ string  (single  step  operation  or  multiple  step  string  starting  with
              +proj=pipeline),   a   WKT2   string   describing   a   CoordinateOperation,  or  a
              urn:ogc:def:coordinateOperation:EPSG::XXXX    URN    overriding     the     default
              transformation  from  the  source  to the target CRS. It must take into account the
              axis order of the source and target CRS.

              New in version 3.0.

       -to NAME=VALUE
              set a transformer option suitable to pass to GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2().

       -order <n>
              order of polynomial used for  warping  (1  to  3).  The  default  is  to  select  a
              polynomial order based on the number of GCPs.

       -tps   Force use of thin plate spline transformer based on available GCPs.

       -rpc   Force use of RPCs.

       -geoloc
              Force use of Geolocation Arrays.

       -i     Inverse transformation: from destination to source.

       -gcp <pixel> <line> <easting> <northing> [<elevation>]
              Provide a GCP to be used for transformation (generally three or more are required)

       -output_xy
              Restrict output to "x y" instead of "x y z"

       <srcfile>
              File with source projection definition or GCP's. If not given, source projection is
              read from the command-line -s_srs or -gcp parameters

       <dstfile>
              File with destination projection definition.

       Coordinates are read as pairs, triples (for 3D,) or (since GDAL 3.0.0,)  quadruplets  (for
       X,Y,Z,time)  of  numbers  per  line  from  standard input, transformed, and written out to
       standard output in the same way. All transformations  offered  by  gdalwarp  are  handled,
       including gcp-based ones.

       Note  that input and output must always be in decimal form.  There is currently no support
       for DMS input or output.

       If an input image file is provided, input is in pixel/line coordinates on that image.   If
       an output file is provided, output is in pixel/line coordinates on that image.

EXAMPLES

   Reprojection Example
       Simple reprojection from one projected coordinate system to another:

          gdaltransform -s_srs EPSG:28992 -t_srs EPSG:31370
          177502 311865

       Produces  the  following  output  in  meters  in  the  "Belge  1972  / Belgian Lambert 72"
       projection:

          244510.77404604 166154.532871342 -1046.79270555763

   Image RPC Example
       The following command requests an RPC based transformation using the RPC model  associated
       with  the  named  file.  Because the -i (inverse) flag is used, the transformation is from
       output georeferenced (WGS84) coordinates back to image coordinates.

          gdaltransform -i -rpc 06OCT20025052-P2AS-005553965230_01_P001.TIF
          125.67206 39.85307 50

       Produces this output measured in pixels and lines on the image:

          3499.49282422381 2910.83892848414 50

   X,Y,Z,time transform
       15-term time-dependent Helmert coordinate transformation from ITRF2000  to  ITRF93  for  a
       coordinate at epoch 2000.0

          gdaltransform -ct "+proj=pipeline +step +proj=unitconvert +xy_in=deg \
          +xy_out=rad +step +proj=cart +step +proj=helmert +convention=position_vector \
          +x=0.0127 +dx=-0.0029 +rx=-0.00039 +drx=-0.00011 +y=0.0065 +dy=-0.0002 \

          +s=0.00195 +ds=0.00001 +t_epoch=1988.0 +step +proj=cart +inv +step \
          +proj=unitconvert +xy_in=rad +xy_out=deg"
          2 49 0 2000

       Produces  this output measured in longitude degrees, latitude degrees and ellipsoid height
       in metre:

          2.0000005420366 49.0000003766711 -0.0222802283242345
