Given your previous response, I conducted a test on the UTM projection.
I converted the projection of a sample image to Albers Equal area. Then I simply ran it through FLAASH and compared the before-image to the after-image. I found that there was no spatial difference between the images. The problem doesn't replicate with Albers.
I looked at the header files of an image in UTM before FLAASH and after FLAASH and here's the difference:
Map info (before) =
{UTM, 1.000, 1.000, 693855.000, 3734175.000 , 3.0000000000e+001, 3.0000000000e+001, 16, North, WGS-84, units=Meters}
Map info (after) = {UTM, 1.000, 1.000, 793125.000, 3688335.000 , 3.0000000000e+001, 3.0000000000e+001, 16, North, WGS-84, units=Meters}
Above, I highlighted the difference in red. It seems to me that the origin for the UTM projection changes (or isn't retained), or at least that's what I think that number is. I've been researching for a envi header file format template to confirm that but I cannot find any information. Nevertheless, the problem seems to be with the UTM projection.
The good news is that it's actually an easy fix on my end. I just need to change the header information manually to match the original 'map info' numbers. This can be done by just opening the two header files up in wordpad and doing a simple copy/paste.
However, I find this to be a major setback in using FLAASH. I have nearly 150 images to process and this extra step that is required because of the projection is a problem.
