[GIS] Convert multiple GeoTIFF to one KMZ

gdalgdal-translategeotiff-tiffkmzsuperoverlay

I am using GDAL to convert GeoTIFF to KMZ. I am using the following command:

gdal_translate.exe -of KMLSUPEROVERLAY *.tif out.kmz

If I have one TIF file in the folder, it works ok. If I have more than one, then I receive the following error:

FAILURE: Too many command options.

How can I run the gdal_translate.exe command to combine more than one TIF file into one KMZ file?

If you have more than one GeoTIFF, you can mosaic them before the conversion. For instance, you can make a virtual mosaic from all of them contained in the same directory:

gdalbuildvrt mosaic.vrt *.tif
gdal_translate -of KMLSUPEROVERLAY mosaic.vrt out.kmz

[GIS] Convert .tif with .tfw to a GeoTiff

So you want a geotiff instead of a tiff with a world file (.tfw). This should be the default in GDAL (http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html) so:

gdal_translate -of GTiff input.tif ouput.tif

It will default to geotiff.

[GIS] How to use gdal to convert HDF multi-band file to a single GeoTiff file

I also couldn't find a way to do it in one step... but using -sds like you did, followed by a gdal_merge.py -separate should work https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_merge.html#cmdoption-gdaladdo-separate

https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate.html#cmdoption-gdal-translate-sds

So this should work for you:

gdal_translate -sds input_file.hdf tmp_outs.tif

gdal_merge.py -separate -o final_output.tif tmp_outs*tif

rm tmp_outs*tif

if your HDF5 subdatasets are different datatypes, specify which output type you want with gdal_merge.py -ot Float32 ...

Just to reference here what those options mean:

-sds

Copy all subdatasets of this file to individual output files. Use with formats like HDF that have subdatasets.



-separate

Place each input file into a separate band.
