ColorTypeType of image: 'truecolor' for a

true-color (RGB) image, 'grayscale'

ModelTypeType of coordinate system used to georeference the

image: 'ModelTypeProjected',

'ModelTypeGeographic',

'ModelTypeGeocentric', or

''.

PCSProjected coordinate system

ProjectionEPSG identifier for the underlying projection

method

MapSysMap system, if applicable:

'STATE_PLANE_27',

'STATE_PLANE_83',

'UTM_NORTH',

'UTM_SOUTH', or

''

Zonedouble indicating the UTM or State

Plane Zone number, empty ([]) if not

applicable or unknown

CTProjectionGeoTIFF identifier for the underlying projection

method

ProjParmN-by-1 double vector containing

projection parameter values. The identity of each

element is specified by the corresponding element of

ProjParmId. Lengths are in

meters, angles in decimal degrees.

ProjParmIdN-by-1 cell array listing the projection parameter

identifier for each corresponding numerical element of

ProjParm:

'ProjNatOriginLatGeoKey'

'ProjNatOriginLongGeoKey'

'ProjFalseEastingGeoKey'

'ProjFalseNorthingGeoKey'

'ProjFalseOriginLatGeoKey'

'ProjFalseOriginLongGeoKey'

'ProjCenterLatGeoKey'

'ProjCenterLongGeoKey'

'ProjAzimuthAngleGeoKey'

'ProjRectifiedGridAngleGeoKey'

'ProjScaleAtNatOriginGeoKey'

'ProjStdParallel1GeoKey'

'ProjStdParallel2GeoKey'

GCSGeographic coordinate system

DatumProjection datum type, such as 'North

American Datum 1927' or 'North

American Datum 1983'

EllipsoidEllipsoid name as defined by the

ellipsoid.csv EPSG file

SemiMajordouble indicating the length of the

semimajor axis of the ellipsoid, in meters

SemiMinordouble indicating the length of the

semiminor axis of the ellipsoid, in meters

PMPrime meridian location, for example,

'Greenwich' or

'Paris'

PmLongToGreenwichdouble indicating the decimal

degrees of longitude between this prime meridian and

Greenwich. Prime meridians to the west of Greenwich are

negative.

UOMLengthUnits of length used in the projected coordinate

system

UOMLengthInMetersdouble defining the

UOMLength unit in meters.

UOMAngleAngular units used for geographic coordinates

UOMAngleInDegreesdouble defining the

UOMAngle unit in degrees.

TiePointsStructure containing the image tiepoints. The

structure contains these fields:

Field NameDescriptionImagePointsStructure containing row and column

coordinates of each image tiepoint. The

ImagePoints structure contains

these fields:

Row —

double array of size

1-by-N

Col —

double array of size

1-by-N

WorldPointsStructure containing the

x and y

world coordinates of the tiepoints. The

WorldPoints structure contains

these fields:

X —

double array of size

1-by-N

Y —

double array of size

1-by-N

PixelScale3-by-1 double array that specifies

the X, Y, Z pixel scale values.

SpatialRefValue depends on the value of the

ModelType field:

'ModelTypeProjected' —

SpatialRef is a map raster

reference object.

'ModelTypeGeographic' —

SpatialRef is a geographic

raster reference object, unless the geometric

transformation is affine, in which case it is

'' (empty).

'ModelTypeGeocentric' —

SpatialRef is

'' (empty).

'' (empty) —

geotiffinfo issues a warning

and SpatialRef is a map raster

reference object.

If the spatial referencing is ambiguously defined by

the GeoTIFF file, then SpatialRef is

'' (empty).

RefMatrix3-by-2 double referencing matrix

that must be unambiguously defined by the GeoTIFF file.

Otherwise it is empty ([]).

BoundingBox2-by-2 double array that specifies

the minimum (row 1) and maximum (row 2) values for each

dimension of the image data in the GeoTIFF file.

CornerCoordsStructure with six fields that contains coordinates of

the outer corners of the GeoTIFF image. Each field is a

1-by-4 double array, or empty

([]) if unknown. The arrays

contain the coordinates of the outer corners of the

corner pixels, starting from the

(1,1) corner and proceeding

clockwise:

FieldDescriptionXEasting coordinates in the projected

coordinate system. X equals

Lon (below) if

ModelType is

'ModelTypeGeographic'

YNorthing coordinates in the projected

coordinate system. Y equals

Lat (below) if

ModelType is

'ModelTypeGeographic'

RowRow coordinates of the corner.

ColColumn coordinates of the corner.

LatLatitudes of the corner.

LonLongitudes of the corner.

GeoTIFFCodesStructure containing raw numeric values for those

GeoTIFF fields that are encoded numerically in the file.

These raw values, converted to a character vectors

elsewhere in the info structure, are

provided here for reference.

GeoTIFFTagsStructure containing field names that match the

GeoTIFF tags in the file. At least one GeoTIFF tag must

be present in the file or an error is issued. The

following fields may be included:

FieldValueModelPixelScaleTag1-by-3 double

ModelTiepointTag1-by-6 double

RPCCoefficientTag

The GeoKeyDirectoryTag

contains field names that match the names of the

"GeoKeys". For more information about the "GeoKeys"

refer to the GeoTIFF specification.

The RPCCoefficientTag

contains properties with names corresponding to the tag

elements listed in the RPCs in

GeoTIFF technical note at: http://geotiff.maptools.org/rpc_prop.html

ImageDescriptionDescription of the image. If no description is

included in the file, the field is omitted.
