Hi,
I am working with a couple of S-1 scenes:
S1A_EW_GRDM_1SSH_20150513T152759_20150513T152903_005904_0079B3_30C4
S1A_EW_GRDM_1SSH_20150513T152903_20150513T153003_005904_0079B3_660E
My processing chain is as follows:
Slice Assembly
Apply Orbit File
Ellipsoid Correction - GG
At the EC-GG dialog I select “NEAREST_NEIGHBOUR” as the resampling method, and select “Polar Stereographic (variant B)” as the map projection with “Standard Parallel 1” set to -71.0 - all other parameters remain at their default value.
The result looks like …
There is an obvious distortion at a point along both of the long edges that continues through the image between these two points. This is clearly seen in the following close-up …
The uncorrected image appears ok …
Not really sure how such a distortion would arise. Same things happens if I choose the “Polar Stereographic” map projection.
If I do “Ellipsoid Correction - RD” instead (with the same Polar Stereographic map projection settings), the resulting image is ok.
