Hi Ana

1) if you plot the GCP in geographic and in SAR coordinates, the 2 pictures will not be matching, because SAR images are plotted with the range in the vertical direction and azimuth in the horizontal one. If you want to plot the SAR image in geographic coordinates, you can press the “Mean Kml” button (in the GCP selection module): you will…[Read more]

yeah I was wrong about DEM alignment. everything was ok with DEM

Just a couple of comments to close this topic

Ivana: thanks to your case I inserted a couple of minor corrections to provide a better match between the SAR and geographic coordinates in the Master area selection, SLC module. Pcodes are online, compiled version for windows is uploading, and the linux compiled version will be available in the next…[Read more]

The height is considered. However, what is used is the height coming with the SAR image, which is usually 1 value for the whole image. We can work at improving it. But we would need to get 2 sample images in which the shift is present and significant.
Ivana, could you share 2 images out of your case?

Hello,

regarding the out-of-area crop (the first question), I have the same experience. It seems to me that probably when reading the dataset, no heights are considered, and the crop is then moved to east/west (different for asc/desc). It helps to crop a bigger area or just put shifted geo coordinates. In the next steps (GCP, geocoding etc.), the…[Read more]

Hi Farnoosh,
some comments below:

1. in the software manual, you can check how the software can ingest external DEMs at the paragraph “1.4.2.1. External DEM Selection”
2. probably the easiest way for you is to create a geotiff DEM (with an other software) and import it in Sarproz
3. anyway Sarproz can manage TDX bistatic pairs and respective…[Read more]

Dear Daniele,

thank you for fast response!
I will test it now (Manage Version shows the last to be from 27-Apr, is it the new one?).
The topic of AOI is subsidence of buildings – three weeks ago a dangerous movement was (accidentally) detected over one building. With this dataset we may detect this movement in similar way you did for Hong-Kong,…[Read more]

Milan:
the data were stored in a flipped format. Now the data extractor has been generalized and the image has the right orientation.
I saw the big orbital data errors. However, we did not test the phase flattening yet.
Let me know if you still get big ramps. If so, we’ll also generalize an orbit correction.
Pcodes and compiled version for windows…[Read more]

For those who cannot use the “Manage Version” module to download the update, I paste here temporary links for direct download:

– pcodes: http://we.tl/H5B9HSLNfZ
– compiled for linux: http://we.tl/wW9CEUMhnY
– compiled for windows: http://we.tl/FO7E90lyZK

How do I download the software sarproz?

Hi Ana,

at this moment the “super-MST” is not implemented yet. The options are those you can see in the menu (star, mst, delaunay, small temp baselines, full graph and so on). However, as you can see you have the option to load your own graph. So, you can design yourself a kind of “super-MST”. You just need to learn the format of a graph. For…[Read more]

Hi, thank you.
indeed, the orbits have huge errors, showing also strong phase ramps.
I will send you one image for reference using ftp (in private message). thank you!

CNU_lee: at this moment you cannot mix gamma RSLC images with new SLC images… in principle it’s possible but at this moment the sw is not considering such option… we will implement it in the future, but for now I suggest you to find a different solution…

Milan: I see such thing for the first time. Probably the orbital data are flipped. Can…[Read more]

Hi，professor，

I get two parts of RST-2 images, the one is .rlsc format co-registered by GAMMA with .par file, the other one is raw data, (e.g. RS2_OK60115_PK140099_DK124064_W1_20101122_222717_RST2_VV_SLC). But the two parts of images aren’t during the same period.I hope to put them together to process.Is it OK in principle?

I create a SLC fol…[Read more]

hi,
i get another issue – it seems that Radarsat-2 gets wrong rotation – the GCP is set properly (manual match of airport object), but the whole image is shifted to the South while it should be to the North. Thus also DEM doesn’t match.
It seems to me that the software expects different mirroring/orientation of the image. Maybe a different…[Read more]
