Converting raw to HDF5

I am new on HDF5. I am trying to convert a hyperspectral image raw file to a HDF5 file, but I do not find the proper way. Does anyone know how to convert a raw file in a HDF5 file?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to convert a binary file to a HDF5 file, you need:

  • to know the specification of your raw binary file (how data are stored)
  • to know how to store data in your HDF5 file

If I had to do such a conversion, I would use a high level language to do the reading and writing. I would use Python (2 or 3), struct to do the reading, and the library h5py for exporting hdf5 file. It would cause much less trouble than using compiled language like C, C++ and Fortran.

The only way is to learn HDF5 APIs. If you use C++, you can this detailed document http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/H5.intro.html should be very useful. Moreover, you can use the high-level APIs (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/). It should be more convenient since all you need is to create a new HDF5 dataset.

Youn can also consult the HDF help desk [email protected]. They are always willing to help every user very patiently.
