gdal_translate

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hello,
  I am developing a geospatial tool in matlab. While running this tool, the user will have access to a grid file developed by ArcGIS ( *.adf) developed from another program. However, since I am developing the tool in Matlab (which can read geotiff), I need to convert the .adf file to .tif file.
   One of the methods I am considering is to use the gdal_translate function. I downloaded the FWTools (2.4.2) and to start with, I used the OpenEV program to open the .aux file attached with the *.adf file. However when I tried to export using (File -> export), I get an error message saying that it is unable to create this tif file.
   Eventually I would like to fire up the gdal_translate.exe from within Matlab to convert the grid to tif. I have uploaded the grid file to the following link.
 
 https://www.uark.edu/dropbox/fetch.php?filehash=dc9a2f3d2caf37c1cd0f73bfb80e4238
 
I would appreciate any suggestions/comments as I troubleshoot this problem.
 
Thank you.
Naresh

Naresh,
        You might take a look at an application, called Mirone, that is an excellent marriage of Matlab, GDAL (and GMT). You may not need to covert to tiff and just the ESRI Grid directly for Matlab. http://w3.ualg.pt/~jluis/mirone/

For your issue, make sure you are points at the correct *.adf file. e.g.
>gdal_translate hrus1\w001001.adf out.tif
which worked for me.

Regards,
Trent

And you file looks fine as shown by gdalinfo

Naresh,
        One more item, not really FWTools related, but I found it very interesting that Mirone, as a Matlab code-base, is released via a svn but also compiled. It might be something for you to think about also.

Thanks to Trent Hare and Roger Andre for their responses. Trent suggested using Mirone (a Matlab implementation of GDAL) while Roger provided basic code to translate *.adf files to *.tif. I was able to use part of Mirone's Matlab code and modify for my purpose.
