Geographic Information Systems Asked by Alexey Gusev on April 5, 2021
I have (for example) SRTM-1 file n48e083.hgt with resolution 3601×3601.
What is right way to convert it to GeoTIFF?
gdal_translate -srcwin 0 0 3600 3600 -a_ullr 83 49 84 48 n48e083.hgt n48e083.tif
or
gdalwarp -te 83 48 84 49 -ts 3600 3600 n48e083.hgt n48e083.tif
I suppose the first is right and faster but I have some doubts.
And second question.
I wonder why gdal_translate does not copy "Unit Type" metadata value from hgt to tiff but gdal_merge does in the examples above?
UPDATE 1: gdalinfo n48e083.hgt

UPDATE 2:
gdalwarp with "-r cubic" option:
gdalwarp -te 83 48 84 49 -ts 3600 3600 -r cubic n48e083.hgt n48e083.tif
makes tiff file which appears to be visually identical to original hgt when I compare them in QGIS.
First two methods I mentioned make TIFF files which has very light visual shift (~0.5 pixel).
