[GRASS-dev] HDF5 datasets and georeferencing

[Stephan Holl]

Dear List,

I have a HDF5-image with several subdataset. Accroding to gdalinfo it
is projected in epsg:4326 (lon/lat) but the corner-coords seem not to
represent the correct corrdinates. Therefor GRASS complains during import.

gdalinfo
HDF5:"noaa16_[long-name]_.hdf"://cloudmask
Driver: HDF5Image/HDF5 Dataset
Size is 1024, 1024
Coordinate System is:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
        TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9108"]],
    AXIS["Lat",NORTH],
    AXIS["Long",EAST],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  (    0.0,    0.0)
Lower Left  (    0.0, 1024.0)
Upper Right ( 1024.0,    0.0)
Lower Right ( 1024.0, 1024.0)
Center      (  512.0,  512.0)
Band 1 Block=1024x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Undefined
  Metadata:
    cloudmask:CLASS=IMAGE
    cloudmask:description=Categorical cloud mask
    cloudmask:output_value_namelist=
    cloudmask:IMAGE_VERSION=1.2
    cloudmask:PALETTE=


Is this a specific-problem of the HDF5-driver (and thererfor better
posted on gdal-dev)?

I am using gdal-1.3.2.

Thanks for your comments.

Best regards

	Stephan
