GDAL and LANDSAT-TM7 Fast Format Level 1G

[Markus Neteler]

Frank,

I don't know if this is a bug... I have received
LANDSAT-TM7 Fast Format Level 1G data, gdalinfo et al. do not like to read
it. Is it possible that this format slightly differs and is 
currently unsupported by GDAL?

Kind regards

 Markus

PS: As usual I can provide a sample channel if needed.

Markus,

I will need a sample.  

Best regards,

Frank,

it seems that sometimes my replies to bugzilla do not reach the system... 
(I found that when browsing my reports). So here again...maybe there is
a chance to get LANDSAT7-FAST read into GDAL? Sorry for being such
straight-forward :-)

Best, Markus

PS: Here the mail which doesn't show up in bugzilla:

Frank,

It may be implemented using RawDataset for reading image and HDF-EOS metadata
parser from HDF driver for reading supplement administartive info. Calibration
information also may be used when GDALCalibrationModel will be finished. New
driver will be called `FAST' (I don't know whether this format used for datasets
other than Landsat, so it may be called `LANDSAT' to avoid users confusing). So
you can assign this item to me.

Markus,

You may find new driver for FAST datasets in GDAL CVS. Currently it works only
for Landsat data and only for UTM projection. Unfortunately I haven't raw data
for testing, all Landsat images in our archive are processed in some way and
converted in other formats. So this driver tested with your image only.

This driver wants administrative header for input, it is
L71173073_07320011008_HRF.FST in your case.

Mnaual page will be added soon.

It seems that driver works correctly now.
