HDF-EOS Extractor QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Explore hyperspectral HDF-EOS5 cubes: click a pixel and see its spectrum.
About
A hyperspectral cube is three things at once: a place, a picture and a spectrum. This plugin links the three on the original HDF-EOS5 file (Planet Tanager and similar), without converting anything first. - Click a pixel and its full spectral signature appears at once. - Drag a sampling line and the plot follows every pixel it crosses. - Drag a rectangle for the area mean, with its per-band deviation. - The side faces follow the crosshair: dragging travels the data. - RGB is chosen by wavelength, so presets work on any sensor. - Bad bands stay out of the statistics, not just out of the plot. - Name signatures, compare them by spectral angle, export to CSV. - An n-D cloud of the signatures, projected on a rotating plane. - Classes that overlap in one band pair come apart as it turns. - Every signature knows where it was taken: points and polygons. - Those layers keep themselves current and export to GeoJSON. - Send the visible view to the map as a georeferenced layer. - Link the cube's navigation with the QGIS map canvas. - Processing algorithm "HDF-EOS5 to ENVI", with wavelengths and FWHM. No mandatory dependencies: only numpy and GDAL, both bundled with QGIS. h5py and pyqtgraph are used when present. Nothing is downloaded and no remote service is contacted. ESPANOL: abre cubos hiperespectrales HDF-EOS5 y enlaza en tiempo real la posicion, la imagen y la firma espectral, sin convertir nada antes. Tambien los extrae al formato nativo de ENVI, por lotes y desde el modelador.
