Purpose

 

The phase and the module components, previously split, can be combined again.

 

Technical Note

A useful application of this functionality it is to combine the phase of a filtered interferogram (_fint) with the Intensity - possibly filtered - of the Reference (or Secondary) image. This kind of product can be generated as follows:

 

•Separate the filtered complex interferogram (_fint) into phase and module components.

 

•Use this functionality to combine the Reference or Secondary Intensity image (i.e. module), with the previously separated phase. Note that a filtered Intensity image (pwr_fil) can also be entered as module.

 

•Generate the Tiff file by means of the appropriate tool (Generate Tiff). This enables to properly tune the scale and exponent factors (typically values of respectively 0.3 and 0.5 are suitable for this purpose) in order to have a better visualisation of either the interferometric fringes and the Intensity image texture.  

 

Input Files

 

Module file

Input module image. This file is mandatory.

 

Phase file

Input phase image. This file is mandatory.

 

Parameters - Principal Parameters

 

Data Units

One of the following products must be selected depending input phase origin.

 

Interferogram

If the phase component had been extracted from an _int file.

 

Flattened Interferogram

If the phase component had been extracted from an _dint or a _fint file.

 

Single Look Complex

If the phase component had been extracted from an _slc file.

Output Files

 

Output file

Output file name of the combined phase+module image. This file is mandatory.

 

_out
