Presentation

This application reeds data from SPOT series satellites (Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre) in DIMAP format (Digital Image Map, consult http://www.spotimage.fr/html/_167_224_232_235_.php).

DIMAP is a format in two parts that contains:

Image: GeoTiFF format (according to the level of processing selected)
Metadata: XML format

The images are converted to MiraMon IMG v. 5 format, so 4 spectral bands are stored in 4 IMG files.

The metadata contained in the XML file is read and stored in the metadata of the output multiband image. The specifications of the1.1 DIMAP metadata file are in: http://www.spotimage.fr/dimap/spec/dimap.htm

The different bands appear in the metadata file in the spectral order from shorter to longer wavelength.

The MiraMon Metadata Manager (GeM+) may be used to make any changes or minor modifications as needed after importing the images.

SPOTIMG 1 TIFFile DIMFile OutFileG OutFileR OutFileNIR OutFileSWIR

Options:

Transform DIMAP raster format (SPOT satellite images) to MiraMon IMG format

Parameters:

TIFFile (TIF file name - Input parameter): Is the name and path of the TIF file that contains the image. Usually this file is called "imagery.tif".
DIMFile (DIM file name - Input parameter): Is the name and path of the XML metadata file in DIMAP 1.1 format. Usually this file is callet "metadata.dim".
OutFileG (Green band output file name - Output parameter): This is the name and path of the output IMG file that contains the green spectral band (the band with the second position in the TIF).
OutFileR (Red band output file name - Output parameter): It is the name and path of the output IMG file that contains the red spectral band (the band with the third position in the TIF).
OutFileNIR (Near infrared band output file name - Output parameter): It is the name and path of the output IMG file that contains the near infrared spectral band (the band with the first position in the TIF).
OutFileSWIR (Shortwave infrared band output file name - Output parameter): It is the name and path of the output IMG file that contains the shortwave infrared spectral band (the band with the forth position in the TIF).
