Mentor Name: Markus Neteler
Title: r.in.modis for GRASS GIS

Abstract

MODIS data are free geodata and they are crucial to derive ecological indicators. The two NASA satellite systems, Terra and Aqua, significantly improve the current data availability for scientific purposes. I am facing the challenge to develop a module which will be able to:

  • import data from a downloaded file
  • directly download MODIS data from a FTP server and then load the file(s) in a GRASS GIS location.

Application

Idea

The idea was little changed from the initial idea that I wrote in the GSOC propose. I spoke with my mentor and we think that the best solution is create three modules:

  • r.modis.download: to download the MODIS products using pyModis library. It will be able to download more tiles and different range of times
  • r.modis.import: to import Level 3 MODIS products, it will use pyModis library to parse the XML files and MODIS Reprojection Tool. It will be able to import single tile or creates a mosaic for more tiles of the same day
  • r.modis.process: to process and import MODIS raw data using MODIS Reprojection Tool Swath

Project Plan

May 23 - 29 Wiki documentation, implement new functions in pyModis library, start r.modis.download
May 30 - June 5 finish and testing r.modis.download, start r.modis.import
June 6 - July 3 finish and testing r.modis.import, I hope also to start r.modis.process
July 4 - July 31 r.modis.process
August 1 - 16 documentation, testing and bug fixing
August 17 - 22 final reviews

1) What do I have completed this week? I spent nine wonderful days in Prague, I attended before the meting Geoinformatics FCE CTU 2011 and after the first Community spring. Nine days with al lot of main developers and power users of GRASS community I worked on pyModis, the library that I'll use in r.modis.download to download MODIS file:

  • fix a bug with Stefano Cavallari [1]
  • implement a new class to parse XML files of MODIS products [2]

I also start to implement r.modis.download


2) What am I going to achieve for next week?

Finish r.modis.download, if I'll have time I'd like to develop a class in pyModis to write a XML file for the mosaik file, that I'll use in r.modis.import


3) Is there any blocking issue?

No, everything is under control
