heconvert

The heconvert is a command-line tool that converts an HDF-EOS2 file into an equivalent HDF-EOS5 file. This tool can convert all HDF-EOS2 objects: grid, swath and point.

Download

Users can download source code from this websiteexternal.

Installation

To build the binary from the source code, users need to install several libraries: HDF4external , HDF5external , HDF-EOS2external and HDF-EOS5external. The heconvert package does not use AutoConf/AutoMake, therefore, the user must manually set several environment variables to provide paths to those libraries. Refer to Makefile for the list of required environment variables.

Usage

This tool is simple to use. Basically, it takes an HDF-EOS2 file as the input and an HDF-EOS5 file for the output. For example, the following command will convert input.he2 into output.he5.

Figure 1 Convert an HDF-EOS2 file into an HDF-EOS5 file
$./HEConvert_linux32 -i input.he2 -o output.he5
Optionally, users can specify compression option using -c. For more information, refer to this documentexternal.

We have successfully tested HE2toHE5Covert Version 3.0 with HDF grid and swath data files. For example, an HDF-EOS2 MODIS Swathexternal can be converted to an HDF-EOS5 fileexternal.
