H2G_SPA Version 1.5a Released – 5/7/2009
The Direct Readout Laboratory (DRL) is pleased to announce the release
of the H2G_SPA Alpha Version 1.5a.
The H2G_SPA (Hierarchical Data Format [HDF] to Georeferenced Tagged
Image File Format [GeoTIFF] Converter Science Processing Algorithm) is
specially designed for Direct Readout and can create geolocated
GeoTIFF images, jpeg browse images, and png browse images for various
parameter datasets in Level 2 MODIS SPA products. H2G also creates
standard true color images and user-defined false color images from
Level 2 Corrected Reflectance Products.
The geolocated GeoTIFF images are Geographic Information System
(GIS)-ingestible and can also be opened by standard image viewers. The
non-geolocated jpeg and png images are more suitable as browse images.
These browse images are enhanced with vector overlays of land/sea and
political boundaries.
H2G incorporates features to enhance output images and facilitate
scientific interpretation:
* while creating images from a primary dataset, a secondary
dataset may be used to mask appropriate areas;
* user-defined color map and user-defined scaling capabilities for
conversion of dataset values into imagery pixels;
* optional subsetting of swaths into user-defined regions of interest;
* jpeg and png browse images can have legends and/or overlays.
H2G allows only geographic projections at this time. Inclusion of
other projections and image mosaic capabilities are under
consideration.
