Hi
I have just tried to read an ASTER image into grass5, and discovered
that r.in.hdf is not implemented in grass5. Do I need to install grass4
as well to do this. Also, will r.in.hdf be able to read the 16-bit
thermal bands from the hdf file.Cheers

Hi Henk,
sorry, to say, but I am rather sure that r.in.hdf doesn't read ASTER.
ASTER is in HDF-EOS while r.in.hdf is supporting HDF3.2.
Unless GDAL get's extended or r.in.hdf updated to the current HDF/HDF-EOS
library there is no way (please tell me if I am wrong).
But two converters are available: HDFLook
http://www-loa.univ-lille1.fr/Hdflook/hdflook_gb.html
and HDF2bin
http://glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/library/software/
Both programs allow to convert a HDF-EOS dataset such as ASTER/TERRA to a
plain binary format which can be imported with r.in.bin.
I had success like that (GRASS 5).
Best regards
