Import Data - Generic Format - Import Tiff-RGB

 

Return to chapter overview

Purpose

 

RGB colour composites, in Tiff (or Geotiff) format, can be be imported. This is required if the data have to be further processed within SARscape.

 

Technical Note

 

Depending on the input file structure, one of the following three data formats must be specified when RGB colour composites are imported:

 

BIP - Band interleaved by pixel.

 

BIL - Band interleaved by line.

 

BSQ - Band sequential.

 

Supported Products

 

Data in Tiff (Tagged Image File Format) format.

 

Input Files

 

Input file

Input file name. This file is mandatory.

 

DEM/Cartographic System

 

Output Projection

In case that the Geocoded flag is set, following parameters are compulsory to specify 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

 

Interleave Type

Set the appropriate RGB pixel interleave for the image (refer to the Technical Note for details).

 

Geocoded

Set this flag, if the input data refer to a cartographic reference system.

 

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.

 

Dummy Value

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

 

Parameters - Global

 

It brings to the general section of the Preferences 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

Output file name of the imported data. This file is mandatory.

 

_bil        

Imported single layer image and associated header files (.sml, .hdr).

 

_R        

Imported Red channel, of an RGB composite, and associated header files (.sml, .hdr).

 

_G        

Imported Green channel, of an RGB composite, and associated header files (.sml, .hdr).

 

_B        

Imported Blue channel, of an RGB composite, and associated header files (.sml, .hdr).

 

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