The IDV will read in an image but all it can show it in is the Omni display
because
there is no geo-location information. You can provide that information in one
of two ways. The first is to use a geolocate-an-image formula described here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/workshop/datadisplays/misc/GeoLocatedImage.html
The other way is to create a little xml file (.ximg) that defines the
geolocation of the image:

You can also create a google earth kml/kmz file with a groundoverlay and read
that into the IDV as well.
