Purpose

 

Standard products, acquired by SV-2 satellites, are imported into the SARscape Data Format for further processing.

 

Technical Note

 

The original product is provided with a parameter file (.meta.xml):

.meta.xml > this has to be entered in the input "Parameter list".

Input Files

 

Input File list

Input file name(s) of the original Parameter file(s) (.meta.xml). These files are mandatory.

 

Parameters - Principal Parameters

 

Polarization

This option let to choose which polarization should be imported in case the original data contains more than 1 polarization. Options are: All, Copolarization (VV or HH) and Crosspolarization (VH or HV). This is helpful in case of only one polarization is needed (e.g. only copolarization for interferometry purposes) reducing the time of the import and the space on disk needed.

 

Apply Calibration Constant

The calibration constant is applied (if available). Note: this has no effect of phase values.

 

Fill dummy during import

Possibility to replace invalid backscatter pixel values with random low values.

 

Rename Output Using Parameters

If set, only relevant information will be copied from the input name(s) to the output name(s), the full root name otherwise.

 

Note: the Data Type is automatically detected and selected.

 

Parameters - Global

 

It brings to the general section of the Preferences specific parameters. Any modified value will be used and stored for further processing sessions.

 

Parameters - Other Parameters

 

It brings to the general section of the Preferences parameters. Any modified value will be used and stored for further processing sessions.

 

Output Files

 

Output file list

Output file name(s) of the imported data. These files are mandatory.

 

Root name of the imported file and associated header files (.sml, .hdr). Specific file suffixes are added according to the data type.

 

.shp

Shape file and associated header files (.sml, .hdr) containing the image perimeter in geographic co-ordinates.

 

.kml

ASCII file containing the image perimeter in geographic co-ordinates. Double clicking on this file will automatically position the boundaries of the scene into the Google Earth environment.

 

Details specific to the Units of Measure and Nomenclature of the output products can be found in the Data Format section.
