[R-sig-Geo] georectify an image with tiepoints

[Josh London]

Hello

I trying to work out method for georectifying QuickSCAT sea-ice GIFs
(http://nereids.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ice.cgi?show=scat). The daily
images are consistent in their layout and include overlayed graticules.
In ArcMap, I create tiepoints at the graticule intersections and
geo-rectify from those. This works, but, these days, I try an avoid
opening ArcMap when I can and I am hoping R can provide a method that
will be easier to batch process and automate.

Any help getting me started or advice from others who have done similar 
tasks would be appreciated.

Thanks
josh
