How to create 'tops_par' file for a cropped SLC
Added by Tapas Dey over 6 years ago
Dear All,
I had cropped a pair of S1 SLC as per my AOI. For coregistration, 'tops_par' file is needed for each of the cropped SLCs. However, the 'tops_par' was generated for the full SLC scene initially. How can I generate the modified 'tops_par' for the cropped SLC?
Thanks & regards,
Tapas

Hello,
The TOPS_par is only for the burst mode SLC data, The program SLC_copy_S1_TOPS
is used for selecting a number of bursts as a subset.
You can only crop bursts or swaths. TOPS_par files are only associated with the
burst format data. In that sense you can only crop the scene to be a certain
number of bursts and a subset of the swaths.
SLC_copy_S1_TOPS can generate the TOPS_par for the "cropped" burst SLC.
