Hi Landon,
Both ImageJ and JAI Image IO are great, but to my knowledge neither provides
much support for non-regular domain sets and/or coordinate systems, as is
often needed in GIS applications.
Have you looked at VisAD (library) and/or the Integrated Data Viewer
(application)?
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/ http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.htmlIt has built in support for geospatial coordinate systems, and might be
easier than writing your own code to transform BufferedImages. And VisAD has
a package (visad.data.gis) for importing GIS data. It uses Java2D and/or
Java3D to render images.
