A Resourcesat-2 data set is organized in a specific folder structure on disk. GDB uses this folder structure and the file names to identify the data product type.
You open a Resourcesat-2 data set by selecting the DIMAP (*.dim) file.
When opening a data set, the files read by GDB are as described in the following tables. Depending on the sensor type, you must open various key files for GDB to read the information.
