Generate DEM parameter, MLI parameter and image files for RISAT-1 MLI data in GEOTIFF format

ANSI-C programs: par_RISAT_geo.c

NAME
par_RISAT_geo - reads RISAT-1 GeoTIFF data as provided by ISRO and creates a DEM parameter file, ISP image parameter, and MLI image  file in the format used by GAMMA software.

SYNOPSIS
par_RISAT_geo <annotation_XML> <GEOTIFF> <polarization> <DEM_par> <MLI_par> <MLI>

<annotation_XML> (input) RISAT-1 product annotation XML file (product.xml)
<GeoTIFF> (input) image data file in GeoTIFF format (example: scene_RH/imagery_RH.tif)
<polarization>
polarization RV, RH of the GeoTIFF image data
<DEM_par> (output) DEM parameter file
<MLI_par>
(output) ISP image parameter file
<MLI> (output) calibrated image intensity data extracted from the GeoTIFF scaled using calibration factor (FLOAT)

EXAMPLES

par_RISAT_geo product.xml scene_RH/imagergy_RH.tif RH 20120507.dem_par 20120507.mli.par 20120507.mli

Reads the  XML annotationproduct.xml file, GeoTiff data file imagergy_RH.tif. Output is the DEM parameter file 20120507.dem_par, and the MLI image and MLI image parameter files 20120507.mli and 20120507.mli.par.

DESCRIPTION

The RISAT-1 radar satellite was launched in April 2012 by ISRO the Indian Space Research Organization  http://www.isro.org/satellites/RISAT-1.aspx and produces data in the GeoTIFF format similar to that produced by RADARSAT-2.  This program generates the MLI parameter file and DEM parameter file that describe the scene. The program extracts the MLI image data from the GeoTIFF file and writes it as float format to a file with dimensions as described in the DEM_par and MLI parameter file. The MLI data are in big-endian byte order.

Here is an example DEM parameter file:
