Abstract:

EOSView is a file viewing tool developed for the ECS project for the examination and verification of HDF and HDF-EOS data files. This tool enables the user of EOS data products to view the contents of HDF files and individual objects by being able to read and display all metadata fields and data objects appropriately. Supported record types for viewing and display capability include images, Raster images, multidimensioal arrays, text, tables, (Vdatas) and Vgroups. Attributes and annotations can also be viewed. EOSView users will see the underlying HDF structures and will be prompted for which parts of the structure they wish to view.
The EOSView application is able to convert HDF and HDF-EOS data files to a particular type, ASCII and binary, for storage on a userÕs disk space so that the user can then make further use of analysis and visualization tools already available in commercial public domain systems. EOSView is then able to open and provide the means for ingesting HDF and HDF-EOS files into other software systems.
