Summary
The HDF-EOS To GeoTIFF Conversion Tool (HEG) is a tool developed to allow a
user to reformat, re-project and perform stitching/mosaicing and subsetting
operations on HDF-EOS objects. The output GeoTIFF file is ingestible into
commonly used GIS applications. HEG will also write to HDF-EOS Grid & SWATH
formats (i.e for Subsetting purposes) and native (or raw) binary. ... HEG presently
works with MODIS (AQUA and TERRA), ASTER, MISR, AIRS, and AMSR-E HDF-EOS data
sets.


Features include:
- Reprojection
- Spatial (geolocation) Subsetting
- Band and Parameter (aka Field) Subsetting of HDF-EOS datasets
- Support for MODIS, ASTER, MISR, AIRS, and AMSR-E
(Check List of Supported Products for full details)
- Format Conversion of various output Format types: GeoTIFF, HDF-EOS GRID &
SWATH, MultiBand GeoTIFF, Multi-Band HDF-EOS GRID & SWATH, and native binary.
- Format Conversions without reprojection or manipulation of input data.
Allows data to remain in original unaltered state.
- Stitching (or mosaicing) HDF-EOS SWATH and GRID datasets
- Stitching with combinations of Reformatting/Reprojection/Subsetting
Operations
- Data subsampling
- Control of various parameters including output pixel resolution and output
projection parameters
- Metadata preservation and creation
- Java GUI
- Command-line interface (Useful for running batch jobs. This is usually seen
in automated production environments where large quantities of granules are
processed.)
- Supported Platforms: LINUX, WINDOWS, SUN, SGI, and MAC OSX (built on
Darwin Kernel Version 7.5.0)

It allows portability of science software across approved computing platforms at the DAACs and also across the Science Computing Facility development environments and the DAACs. A goal of the Toolkit is reduced integration expense at the DAAC and enhanced maintainability of software.
