New REFINED L1C tiles do not process with Sen2Cor 2.8

Optical Toolbox sen2cor
1

Following the deployment of the geometrically refined products since 30th March 2021, it seems that Sen2Cor v02.08.00 cannot process the “REFINED” L1C tiles.

The error is as follows:

Syntax error in metadata, see report file for details.

AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'SPACECRAFT_NAME'

This also occurs with the published Baseline 03.00 L1C Sample Product. However, Sen2Cor does still seem to work correctly on new tiles where the “Image_Refining” metadata tag is NOT_REFINED

Has anyone else experienced this or can help?

Sen2Cor 2.9, which has been released since this was reported, appears to support the new product format and resolves the above problem.

@anthony.scarth Do you know when Sen2Cor 2.9 will be available as plugin within Snap?

I’m afraid I don’t. Looks like it’s an official plugin but I can’t see any activity relating to the 2.9 version on GitHub.

Looks like @obarrilero made most of the commits to the initial plugins. Perhaps they know more?

Hello,
Most likely Sen2Cor 2.9 will be available as plugin in SNAP 9.0.

HI @oana_hogoiudo we know when SNAP 9.0 will be released?

There is no fixed date yet for SNAP 9.
But we can try to publish the Sen2Cor 2.9 plugin sooner (let’s say end of May), if a lot of people is waiting it.
