<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I looked at vdatum and could not find how to remove an
ellipsoidal. Apparently, this software can only translate from
one ellipsoid to another but cannot simply remove the ellipsoid.
I would use Ujaval's method as this will faster to figure out then
what I originally did. You can also get help from the gdal
developers. <br>
</p>
<p>You may use the unavco page to get more information and to double
check your results. <br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.unavco.org/software/geodetic-utilities/geoid-height-calculator/geoid-height-calculator.html">https://www.unavco.org/software/geodetic-utilities/geoid-height-calculator/geoid-height-calculator.html</a></p>
<p>You may also look at the GPS H tool (online and pc version) from
NRCAN. You need to create a profile if you want to download the
software. Unfortunately, this tool only works with point data but
the PC version can read geoid files from Noaa. I used that to
double check my results. To remove an ellipsoid, use GPS H using
the h=H+N mode using an input height of 100.0m.</p>
<p>To test (with geoid model HT2_0), for a point situated at 50°N
and 100°W if a geoid height or topographic height (H) of 100m,
the ellipsoid (N) will be at -23.434 meters and the height (h)
above the ellipsoid at 76.566m. I would first try to reproduce
using HT2_0 that comes with GPS H. Then, use the EGM96 downloaded
from NOAA. Finally, test using to top left pixel of your image.
<br>
</p>
<p>Once you transform the image using gdalwarp, look at the value of
your top left pixel to see if it matches what you get from GPS H.
Warning... this software uses GRS80 Ellipsoid. I think ALOS uses
GRS80 but if it's the WGS84 ellipsoid, you will see very small
differences (probably sub-millimeter.) I would not worry at this
point. <br>

<div>Will do. I’am heading out of the woods
now. In the mean time, look at the
metadata to find out what ellipsoid is
being used by the file. I believe it’s
probably EMG96 but can you confirm? <br>
