[Geotools-gt2-users] GeoTiffReader Runtime Error

[Peter <doj...@or...>]

Dear All,

I must read population data from a GeoTiff Grid.

The following throws a runtime error

GridCoverage2D image  = new GeoTiffReader(f)

Error message: GeoTiffMetadata2CRSAdapter::createCoordinateSystem:Only
Geographic & Projected Systems are supported.

Is there a way to convert the tiff file ? Below is the gdalinfo. Thank
you ! Peter
