Opening in stars shows that the read data are interpreted as degrees Kelvin:

library(stars)
ss <- read_stars("MOD11A2.A2000049.h17v05.006.2015058135048.tif")
print(ss, n=1e8)
stars object with 2 dimensions and 1 attribute

 Median :296.5

 3rd Qu.:298.8
 Max.   :309.2
 NA's   :926190

y    1 1200  4447802 -926.625 unnamed FALSE   NULL [y]

The summary agrees with

library(rgdal)
o <- readGDAL("MOD11A2.A2000049.h17v05.006.2015058135048.tif")
summary(o)

and

library(raster)
r <- raster("MOD11A2.A2000049.h17v05.006.2015058135048.tif")
summary(values(r))
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.    NA's
  272.1   293.3   296.5   296.1   298.8   309.2  926190

So my feeling is that the representation is correct in degrees Kelvin.

Others please join in, I'm not familiar with MODIS HDF data. I think something gives the metadata in the GeoTIFF the wrong data bounds - they do seem to be UInt16. The output of gdalinfo (command line) includes:

...
  units=K
  valid_range=7500, 65535
...
Band 1 Block=1200x3 Type=UInt16, ColorInterp=Gray
  NoData Value=0
  Unit Type: K
...

Hi Roger, the link to he image is given below. This image was generated
from a .hdf file using the function gdal_translate.

gdal_translate(sds[1], dst_dataset=paste0(substr(filename, 1,

Please make the file in question available for download (url), or the url

unsigned 16 bit integer is not right.

*Emne:* [R-sig-Geo] issue when opening raster image in R, the pixel
values a rescaled somehow

I opened a Geotiff image in R using the raster function. However, the
image seems to be rescaled. The minimum and maximum values should be 13607
and 15461 but are 275 and 305. The Geotiff image when opened in a GIS is
correct but not in R. This is my code: Script: library(raster)
trial<-raster("MOD11A2.A2000049.h17v05.006.2015058135048.tif", datatype =
"INT2U") trial plot(trial) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
