UTM-K[EPSG:5179] Support

[SeungwooKim]

Hello

I'm currently working on ZUSI routes for Korea. Though with great program as TransDEM, I unable to advance the progress of the work.

Here's the problem. All of the data I used were from Korean NGII(National Geographic Information Institute) and they release all the data in UTM-K(EPSG:5179)
As TransDEM doesn't support the UTM-K[EPSG:5179], all the DEM data I've prepared are useless

Here is the description of UTM-K(EPSG:5179) a.k.a Korea 2000 / Unified CS
https://epsg.io/5179

1. Could you add new UTM-K[EPSG:5179] coordination system into TransDEM
2. If not, Is there any other way to manually add the coordination system to TransDEM? (like WKT in QGIS)

I will have a look into that, shouldn't be too complicated. I may find some time over Christmas. Not sure about the geodetic datum yet.

No, unfortunately. While you can add parameters to the xml file, these won't be propagated to the user interface.

Is there any sample data available? I have identified the parameters for UTM-K but I would want to test this before releasing it.

90m DEM using UTM-K for testing

Thank you.

What is the actual location of the sample data? And are you sure it's in UTM-K, EPSG 5179?

I'm asking because I can't make it fit. The Transverse Mercator parameters for UTM-K are, according to https://epsg.io/5179:
latitude_of_origin: 38
central_meridian: 127.5
scale_factor: 0.9996
false_easting: 1000000
false_northing 2000000

However, the origin in the DEM file, south west corner, is, as read from the ERDAS Imagine header:
247519 easting
455944 northing

This would place the DEM in the open sea near the west coast of Taiwan.

Really sorry for sending inappropriate DEM file. I apologies for your inconvenience due to my unintended mistake. The file was using EPSG 5186, not EPSG 5179..
yeah.. some files are also provided in different coordination system.. Currently in Korea we use 4 different coordination system. EPSG 5185, EPSG 5186, EPSG 5187, EPSG , EPSG5179

• EPSG 5185, EPSG 5186, EPSG 5187
  These coordination system are TM(Tranverse Mercator) using GRS080. They are region seperated and each are having different coordinate origin.. So they are unable to cover entire country.

• EPSG 5179 UTM-K
  UTM-K is also TM using GRS80 but it is able to cover entire country

Thanks again, I'll test with those. Do you want me to add the 3 "belts" as well? Mutli-zone shouldn't be too much of a problem. either.

It would be grateful if you'd do so. Always thanks for your kind support

• EPSG 5187

This looks much better now.

Single zone will report as UTM-K (EPSG:5179), tested with your sample data.

Multi-zone UTM-K, will report as UTM-K-Belts in TransDEM, with zones:

1. West Belt (EPSG:5185)
2. Central Belt (EPSG:5186)
3. East Belt (EPSG:5187)
4. East Sea Belt (EPSG:5188)

also tested with your sample data.

I have finally managed to release the patch to the new version, 64bit only:
Update TransDEM 2.6.2+ - 2.6.6 (64bit)

gonna update it right away thank you for all of your efforts
