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.
modis_convert.py [options] hdf_file
-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
