PROJ

Allows choice of Geographic (Lat-long) coordinate system, or
a projected coordinate system such as Albers Equal Area.

For Albers Equal Area the following georeferencing approach
should be used:

First, define the cartographic projected coordinate system. Use
the NO_LONG parameter to define the central meridian (in decimal
degrees), and the STDPARAL parameter to define the two standard
parallels. There is no natural origin latitude, so instead we
choose a latitude for a false origin (given by FO_LAT), and assign it an
arbitrary Easting,Northing ( given by FAL_ORIG).

The most common choice for the False origin is a parallel which hits
the top or bottom of the image tangentially (at the center of image),
for which the latitude is known.

Next, the raster XY pixel-space should be tied to this easting,northing
coordinate system. The recommended way to do this is to set the
pixel origin (PIX_ORIG) easting,northing equal to the coordinate
system false origin (PIX_ORIG = FAL_ORIG), and then specify the
pixel (X,Y) location of of this origin in the image. Also, use the
PIXSIZE parameter to specify the horizontal and vertical size of
the pixels in meters. In the XY coordinate system the location of
the upper-left corner of the upper-left pixel is (0,0), and the
bottom-right corner of the bottom-right pixel is (NS+1, NL+1).
