SLC corners on TSX/TDX data?

Added by Jacqueline Tema Salzer almost 9 years ago

Dear all,

I have repeatedly ran into the following errors/warnings when using gc_map, even when using DEMs that are substantially larger than the SLC area:
ERROR: no coverage of SAR image by DEM (in latitude/northing)
or
WARNING: incomplete coverage of SAR image by DEM (in latitude/northing)

When I had the problem again today, I found that the SLC corners reported by GAMMA are different to the ones in the *.xml file provided by DLR:
Has anyone else ran into this? It would explain the problem with the "DEM not covering the area"

The "center latitude" and "center longitude" parameters in the slc.par files are still correct and agree with the ones provided by DLR, but the output from SLC_corners is off.
The problem appears to be associated only with recent data (starting around November 2015?)
I have attached a DLR TDM*.xml file and the generated slc.par

RE: SLC corners on TSX/TDX data? Correction to par_TX_SLC to extract correct state vector subset - Added by Charles Werner almost 9 years ago

The problem is caused by the fact that there are over 200 state vectors in the TDX data spaced at 1 second interval.
par_TX_SLC has been modified to extract the subset of the state vectors that cover the data. There are approximately 17 state vectors in the subset.
The updated binary version of par_TX_SLC is attached.
