MapReady

Software in the MapReady Remote Sensing Tool Kit accepts level 1 detected SAR data, single look complex SAR data, and ALOS optical data from ASF and other facilities. It can terrain correct, geocode, and save to several common imagery formats including GeoTIFF.

Polarimetric decompositions can be applied to multi-pol SAR data. Other software included in the package are an image viewer, metadata viewer, and projection coordinate converter." to "Other software included in the package are an image viewer, metadata viewer, a projection coordinate converter, and a variety of command line tools.

  • RAT - Radar Tools (or RAT) is an open source SAR processing tool provided by the Technical University of Berlin. It is now able to read and process ASF SAR data. It supports ASF SAR SLCs and detected imagery of RADARSAT-1, JERS-1, ERS-1/2, and ALOS PALSAR.
  • BEAM - A toolbox for viewing, analyzing and processing of remote sensing data. Originally developed to facilitate the utilization of image data from Envisat's optical instruments, BEAM now supports a growing number of other sensors such as MODIS, AVNIR, PRISM and CHRIS/Proba.
  • PolSARPro - The Polarimetric SAR Data Processing and Educational Tool aims to facilitate the accessibility and exploitation of multi-polarized SAR datasets including those from ESA Third Party Missions (ALOS PALSAR), Envisat ASAR Alternating Polarization mode products, RADARSAT-2 and TerraSAR-X.
