Import Data - Generic Binary - Binary Geocoded Format

 

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Purpose

 

Generic binary geocoded data must be imported in the SARscape Data Format for further processing.

 

Technical Note

 

None.

 

Supported Products

 

Single layer generic binary geocoded data.

 

Input Files

 

Input file list

Single layer binary file(s). This file is mandatory.

 

DEM/Cartographic System

 

Output Projection

The following parameters are compulsory to define the Cartographic System:  

 

State

Definition of the country or general projection systems.

 

Projection

Definition of the projection system of the selected State. In case that a general projection system is selected in State, the Projection is automatically set.

 

Ellipsoid

Definition of the ellipsoid. This is chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Hemisphere

Definition of the hemisphere. This is chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Zone

Definition of the zone. This is chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Datum Shift Parameters

Definition of the datum shift parameters. These are chosen according to the selected State and Projection.

 

Reference Height

In case that the Digital Elevation Model is not used, a constant ellipsoidal height must be provided. Default Reference Height is 0.

 

Cartographic Parameters

The reference parameters for some projection systems (e.g. Stereographic, Polar Stereographic, Gnomonic, Mercator, Miller, Albers, etc.) can be set.

 

Parameters - Principal Parameters

 

Data Type

The input data type (in terms of pixel depth) must be specified.

 

Data Units

One of the following data units must be selected:

Classification                Classification image.
Coherence                Interferometric Coherence image.
DEM                Digital Elevation Model.
DEM SlopeSlope image.
Digital Number                Generic image file.
Intensity                Radar reflectivity (or Power).
Amplitude                Square root of Intensity.

 

Number of Lines

Number of rows in the input file.

 

Number of Columns

Number of columns in the input file.

 

Dummy Value

Pixel no-value (so called dummy) in the input data.

 

Header

Number of  bytes to skip before the data matrix begin.

 

Row Prefix

Number of  bytes to skip, for each line, before the first data value.

 

Row Suffix

Number of  bytes to skip, for each line, after the last data values.

 

Byte Order

One of the two following byte coding schemes, which corresponds to the input data, must be specified:

MSBF (Motorola/Big Endian type)        Most significant byte first.
LSBF (Intel/Little Endian type)        Least significant byte first.

 

X upper left

Upper left corner Easting co-ordinate.

 

Y upper left

Upper left corner Northing co-ordinate.

 

X grid size

Easting grid size.

 

Y grid size

Northing grid size.
