The sensor parameters needed for the simulation can be automatically selected by choosing the sensor from a list. Each sensor has also one or more acquisition modes (e.g. stripmap, spotlight).  Each sensor together with its acquisition mode determines the wavelength, the pixel resolution and pixel spacing in both azimuth and slant range. It is also possible to specify these parameters manually by creating a custom sensor.

 

Ground range extent

This parameter controls the length of the scene in ground range.

 

Incidence angle

This parameter controls the angle of the impinging rays with respect to the vertical.

 

Rotation angle

 

Number of bounces

This is the maximum number of reflections that will be considered in the simulation.

 

Number of passes

This parameter controls the number of iterations of the path tracing algorithm.

 

Dec. factor

This parameter controls the number of rays to save in the corresponding .ovo file. The higher the value the lower the amount of rays saved.
