There is an example of defining a display-side coordinate system in Don
Murray's MapProjectionDisplay in visad.examples.  There are other ways
to accomplish the same thing, but it will depend on how you want or need
to define the coordinates for the projection.

Also, your image will need to have a coordinate system.  Most GOES-type
image data, read via ADDE has this already defined.  Otherwise, you may
have to define your own, to map between lines/elements and
latitude/longitude.
