Easily Parse and Extract BEAM-DIMAP metadata with Python

Hello all,

Just sharing my latest project. It’s a relatively simple project that allows you to quickly extract data from the BEAM-DIMAP files using Python. This includes important data about the scene and processing history. See some samples on the official documentation here.

It’s still a work in progress but right now it’s verified to work with Sentinel-1 data. But I plan on testing it with Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, and possibly Sentinel-5 if it has .dim files. Though I think Sentinel-5 isn’t officially supported by SNAP.

Link to the github repo:

Some sample code:

    >> dimap = Sentinel1('S1A.dim', 'SLC')
    >>> history = dimap.get_processing_history(5)
    >>> print(history)
