Short answer (for a hypothetical image from long 30 to 40, lat 15 to 25)
plotimage, img, imgxrange=[30,40], imgyrange=[15,25]
oplot, lon, lat, psym=1
This will overlay the (LON,LAT) symbols on a flat cartesian image map.
You will probably also want to use the RANGE keyword to scale your
image into a 0-255 range.
I think this is what you want. If you need to plot as a 3d relief
surface, then you should investigate the SURFACE command. Liam Gumley
also makes a procedure called IMDISP, but I'm not sure if he can
overlay a coordinate system.
