GTC SLC (esar_gtc)

The esar_gtc function extracts Sxy/C2/T2 (for dual-pol), S2/C4/T4/C3/T3/C2/T2 (for full-pol) matrix elements from a ESAR GTC SLC data folder and saves them into a directory.

polsartools.esar_gtc(inFolder, matrixType='S2', azlks=3, rglks=3, outType='tif', symmetric=True)

Extracts the Sxy/C2/T2 (for dual-pol), S2/C4/T4/C3/T3/C2/T2 (for full-pol) matrix elements from a ESAR GTC SLC data

Example:

>>> esar_gtc("path_to_folder", matrixType='C3', azlks=3, rglks=3)
This will extract the C3 from full-pol ESAR GTC SLC data and save them as geotiff files.
Additionally, it will also extract the incidence angle map and save it as a geotiff file.

Parameters:

inFilestr

The path to the ESAR GTC folder containing the data and metadata.

matrixTypestr, optional (default = ‘S2’ or ‘Sxy)

Type of matrix to extract. Valid options for Full-pol: ‘S2’, ‘C4, ‘C3’, ‘T4’, ‘T3’, ‘C2HX’, ‘C2VX’, ‘C2HV’,’T2HV’and Dual-pol: ‘Sxy’,’C2’, ‘T2’.

azlksint, optional (default=3)

The number of azimuth looks for multi-looking.

rglksint, optional (default=3)

The number of range looks for multi-looking.

Returns:

None

The function does not return any value. Instead, it creates a folder named S2/C3/T3/C2/T2 (if not already present) and saves the geotiff/binary files:
