SARscape Patches

The following patches/updates are available for SARscape 4.2:

Patch 4.2.003, released August 20th, 2010

• Gauss-Boaga projection is supported.
• Synthetic phase generation problem, using Radarsat 2 data, has been solved.
• Radarsat 2 orbit are better used by introducing a specific polynomial calculation.
• All available state vectors in Radarsat 1 products are exploited.
• Errors during multiple batch execution have been solved.
• The processing time for the coregistrtion with an input DEM has been dramatically reduced.

Patch 4.2.002.P09, released July 29th, 2010

• Various bug fixes and improvements in the InSAR module

Patch 4.2.002.P08, released July 15th, 2010

• Preliminary support for RADARSAT2 NITF
• Various Bug fixes and minor improvements

Patch 4.2.002.P05, released April 20th, 2010

• Various Bug fixes and minor improvements

Patch 4.2.002.P04, released April 20th, 2010

• Various Bug fixes and minor improvements

Patch 4.2.002.P03, released February 10th, 2010

• Support JERS-1 SLC in JAXA format
• Polar Stereographic and Stereographic False Northing and False Easting parameter management correction
• COSMO-SkyMed ScanSAR SLC name correction
• ASAR new AUXILIARY files
• Cut slant range admits also inverted start end row pixels
• Dummy values management in ANLD Filters
• Geolocation problem with cut Radarsat 1 / 2 SLC (problem in recomputation for inverted lines / pixels)

Patch 4.2.002, released December 16th, 2009

The list below contains improvements and/or bug solutions included in this patch:

• Cartographic system re-working and help documentation update.
• Correction of a bug in the Polar Stereographic projection: the error happened when a Northern Hemisphere co-ordinate was transformed from Polar Stereographic to Geographic.
• Solution of a bug in the coregistration process (all modules), which was experienced in case of wrong orbital parameters.
• Improved Edge map generation and simplified use of the region merging (Basic Module>Segmentation).
• Updated installation procedure and documentation.

Patch 4.2.001, released Nov 26, 2009.

The list below contains  SARscape improvements and/or bug solutions included in this version:

• Improved geocut and geocoding processes aimed at both: aligning the output product to the correct grid size and avoiding the generation of sampled data with different number of pixels (i.e. "Sample Selection>Maximum Common Area", "Cartographic Transformation", etc.).
• Solution of an error in the radiometric calibration of RADARSAT-2 products.
• Solution of an error in the Coregistration/Interferogram generation executed with Digital Elevation Model and Ground Control Point.
• Solution of an error in the update of the processing "Log File".
• Improved Interferogram Flattening (Optimal Resolution Approach) to avoid some problems previously encountered when NaN values were in the reference Digital Elevation Model.
• Better handling, in the Interferometry processing chain, of master-slave pairs coming from single (e.g. PALSAR FBS) and multi-polarization (e.g. PALSAR FBD) acquisitions.
• New function to convert a Digital Elevation Model to Slope image (Tools>Conversion DEM to Slope).
