Hierarchical Data Format 4 (HDF4 ASTER) Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).

Each ASTER (HDF4) raster image subdataset corresponds to a single feature in FME.
