The task is to re-project the Mars image from Ocentric Equirectangular projection to Transverse Mercator.
I'm trying to do this in gdal in python.
In terms of Transverse Mercator projection, there is no default model in gdal. So, I customize the Transverse Mercator projection of Mars in WKT format as below. But syntax error, "invalid syntax" has came up for "PROJECTION" parameter.
I think "PROJECTION" is an appropriate parameter. What should I do for solving this problem.
output_proj = PROJCS["Transverse Mercator Mars",
GEOGCS["GCS_MARS",
DATUM["Custom_Mars_Datum",
ELLIPSOID["Custom_Mars_Ellipsoid", 3396190.0, 169.894447224]
],
PRIMEM["Reference_Meridian", 0.0]
]
PROJECTION["Transverse Mercator Mars"],
PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin", 0,
ANGLEUNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]
PARAMETER["longitude_of_origin", 0,

PARAMETER["central_meridian", 0]
