I was recently looking into for some code I'm writing in R using rgdal, and I wanted to see if we could generate some new effort on this. While the way each file format specifies RS information may be different, there are some standard pieces of info that could be read/stored in a meaningful way with GDAL. Minimally, band wavelength and some storage of the units would be really helpful. I would think amongst the various RS software formats (ENVI, Imagine, PCI Geomatica), we could come to a consensus on what metadata might be common.
I am happy to consult on this, but I'm not capable of coding this sort of thing myself. Does anyone want to discuss this on/offline? --j On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 3:59 PM, Frank Warmerdam <warmer...@pobox.com> wrote: > Shuqing, > > GDAL does not have a well defined name for metadata describing a bands > wavelength.
