multi_SLC

ANSI-C program: multi_SLC.c

NAME
multi_SLC - Generates multi-look intensity image from complex SAR SLC image.

SYNOPSIS
multi_SLC <SLC_PROC_param> <MLI_PROC_param> <SLC_image> <ML_image> <rlks> <azlks> [slc_format]

<SLC PROC_param> SLC processing parameter file
<MLI PROC_param> output MLI processing parameter file
<SLC_image> SLC image file
<MLI_image> output MLI image
<rlks> number of range looks
<azlks> number of azimuth looks
[slc_format] input SLC format flag (default = 0)
0: FCOMPLEX (pairs of 4-byte-float)
1: SCOMPLEX (pairs of 2-byte-short-integer)


EXAMPLE
multi_SLC p8560.slc.par p8560.mli.par 8560.slc 8560.mli 2 10

DESCRIPTION
This program detects and averages the SLC data generated by the MSP in either FCOMPLEX (pairs of 4-byte-float) or SCOMPLEX (pairs of 2-byte-short-integer) format. Data within a moving rectangular window or user-define range and azimuth size is summed to generate the multi-look image elements. The detected intensity image is stored as 4-byte floating point numbers. The output image parameters (image size, pixel spacing [m], number of looks are written to new processing parameter file (MLI PROC_param) describing the multi-look intensity image.

SLC input image data may be displayed using disSLC, the (real) output multi-look image using dispwr. Alternately, the intensity image can be scaled and stored as a SUN rasterfile image using raspwr.
