Extract georeference data from H5 when converting into GeoTIFF

[marklit]

Feature description

Planet Labs have an open feed for 400+-band Hyperspectral Imagery. I'm able to convert the H5s into GeoTIFFs but the georeference data doesn't copy over. Planet Labs describe their deliverable as georeferenced.

$ wget "https://storage.googleapis.com/open-cogs/planet-stac/release1-basic-radiance/20250225_153627_16_4001_basic_radiance.h5"
$ gdalinfo 20250225_153627_16_4001_basic_radiance.h5 | grep geotransform

  HDFEOS_SWATHS_HYP_Geolocation_Fields_Planet_Ortho_Framing={"cols": 778, "epsg_code": 32619, "geotransform": [355530.0, 30.0, 0.0, 1299210.0, 0.0, -30.0], "rows": 657}

$ gdal_translate \
    -of GTiff \
    HDF5:"20250225_153627_16_4001_basic_radiance.h5"://HDFEOS/SWATHS/HYP/Data_Fields/toa_radiance \
    20250225_153627_16_4001_basic_radiance.tif
$ gdalinfo 20250225_153627_16_4001_basic_radiance.tif

That metadata field does copy over but it has no effect when I load the GeoTIFF into QGIS.

Planet Labs describe their deliverable as georeferenced.

actually not quite so. What you see is a hint that you could use with gdalwarp to recreate their ortho products. Those products themselfves are not ortho-rectified and use geolocation arrays. GeoTIFF doesn't support geolocation arrays, so if you want to store them as GeoTIFF, use gdalwarp
