modis_convert.py

modis_convert.py is a script to convert MODIS data to TIF formats and different projection reference system. It is an interface to MRT mrtmosaic software, the best application for work with HDF MODIS data.

Usage

modis_convert.py [options] hdf_file

Options

-h  --help               show the help
-s  --subset             a subset of product's layers. The string
                         should be similar to: 1 0    [required]
-m  --mrt                the path to MRT software    [required]
-o  --output             the name of output file
-g  --grain              the spatial resolution of output file
-d  --datum              the code of datum
-r  --resampl            the type of resampling
-p  --proj_parameters    a list of projection parameters
-t  --proj_type          the output projection system
-u  --utm                the UTM zone if projection system is UTM

Warning

You can find the supported projections in the ‘Appendix C’ of MODIS reprojection tool user’s manual and the datums at section Datum Conversion of the same manual

Examples

Convert LAYERS from LST MODIS data with output resolution in 250 meters with latitude and longitude reference system

modis_convert.py -s "1 0 1 0" -m "/usr/local/bin/" -g 250 FILE

Convert LAYERS from NDVI MODIS data with output resolution in 500 meters with UTM projection in the 32 zone

modis_convert.py -s "1 0 1 0" -m "/usr/local/bin/" -g 500 -p UTM -u 32 FILE
