[Gdal-dev] RFC 4: Geolocation Arrays

[Ivan Lucena]

Hi there,

 

If I understand correctly RFC 4, you can use the Geolocation bands to
warp the image bands when they exists in the same input file (in a
HDF-EOS Swath for example).

 

This is possible only because the AVHRR, Envisat, HDF and netCDF drivers
have add to the Metadata the fields: "GEOLOCATION", "PIXEL_OFFSET",
"LINE_OFFSET", "PIXEL_STEP", "LINE_STEP", "X_BAND", "Y_BAND".

 

But I have someone here with lots of similar kind of information but in
separated Envi file and he want to do the same process... :-)

 

For each par of files there is one with a bunch of hyperspectral bands
and the other with just two bands with Latitude and Longitude.

 

The question is: If one invests time developing a python script to
gather those bands in a HDF4 and set the appropriate metadata is
gdalwarp going to work? I mean, the metadata will stick to the file and
will be interpreted by gdalwarp accordantly? 

 

Does anybody have done something like that before?

 

Any thoughts are well come,

 

Thanks,

 

Ivan
