A QGIS Plug-in for Processing MODIS Data

In the past few decades number of Earth-observing satellites are continuously gathering information and only about 10 percent of the information is utilized by the users. With so much accessible information the researchers have not explored the datasets completely as there is absence of effective tool to process the information. MODIS data sensors have accessible data at various temporal and spatial resolutions. To productively use these datasets in open-source GIS programming like QGIS, there is a need to pre-process the dataset using a plug-in. The plug-in is built using python and PyQt interface for QGIS .The plug-in operates on MODIS Data (Terra/Aqua/Combined) computerizes and process the functionalities for MODIS products like MOD11, MOD09, MOD21. The processed datasets can be largely used in investigation of time series analysis for some earth resource application.
