ENVI GCP File Format

Text taken from the ENVI User's Guide.

The ENVI Ground Control Point (GCP) files are ASCII files that contain the pixel coordinates of tie points selected from a base and warp image using ENVI's registration utilities. They are assigned the file extension .pts by default and begin with the keywords "ENVI Registration GCP File." For image-to-image registration, pixel coordinates are listed in the order Base image X, Y, Warp Image X, Y. An example of a typical image-to-image .pts file is shown here:
