Folks
Hi
I have some images with .rrd format (one image consist of 3 file: rrd
+aux+dt2). Does any one have experience with this kind of data, that
how we can import it to IDL (or ENVI)?
Any help?
Cheers
Dave

This is Elevation Data no?

dt2: Digital Terrain Elevation Data (level2)
rrd: Reduced Resolution Dataset (pyramid file which helps the image
display faster)
aux: Auxiliary file (color map, coordinate system, projection
info,...)

This might help to decode the dt2 file:

For the aux file, I don't know:

I don't think the rrd file is obligatory (but I'm not a specialist).

I found this: http://tinyurl.com/5kujdn It might help - you might
have to build your own.
