An easy-to-use plugin for processing and georeferencing every known MODIS product
The MODIS Conversion Toolkit (MCTK) is a plugin for ENVI that can ingest, process, and georeference every known MODIS product (currently 143) through your choice of an easy-to-use interactive widget interface or a fully-accessible programmatic interface. Supported products include: - Level 1A Uncalibrated Radiance - Level 1B Calibrated Radiance - Level 2 Swath - Level 2G, Level 3, and Level 4 Grid The interface allows you to take a "cafeteria" approach to MODIS data by providing a list of all available datasets within a file, from which you can choose the ones to process. The ENVI equivalents of MRT and MRTSwath are built in as well, which means that you can input a file, have its contents converted to scientifically meaningful values, and then project those contents into the coordinate system of your choice--all within one interface. Bow tie correction is also available for all swath products. The user guide (included with the plugin) contains:

New version created on 10/01/11: Bug fixes for handling of HDF scientific datasets (SDs); saturated pixels in Level 1B products with an integer value of 65533 are now set to maximum possible radiance value of 32767 prior to conversion; binary recompiled in 32-bit IDL to mitigate 64-bit Linux compatibility issues
New version created on 04/14/12: Fixed geolocation issue for swaths that cross the Prime Meridian or International Dateline, added support for MOD16A2 and MOD16A3, updated list of supported products in user guide
New version created on 07/22/12: Added discussion on how to install plugin for use with ENVI 5.0+ Standard and Classic to user guide.
