[GIS] MODIS image reprojection/ change coordinate system in ArcGIS Desktop

arcgis-9.3arcgis-desktoperdas-imaginemodisshapefile

I have downloaded Utah state shapefile in NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_12N projection and also downloaded the MODIS image of the area (MOD09Q1) in .hdf format which has sinusoidal projection.

the .hdf format was converted to .img using ERDAS imagine 2011.

Upon adding these two layers in ArcGIS 9.3, the boundary shapefile does not fall on the image rather lies far away. I have also tried projecting the image to NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_12N…its still not working.

Any suggestion on what to do?

Best Answer

If you have access to ENVI, there is a a "MODIS conversion toolkit" available for free from their user scripts website.

It will reproject any way you would like as well as destripe and calculate radiance

have fun
