PolSARpro_v5.0-problem with main input directory

PolSARpro
2

you know this forum is about SNAP, right? :wink:

Anyway, PolSARpro is a bit tricky when it comes to the correct order what to click.

  1. Choose ‘single data set’
  2. Environment > Select your folder (*.SAFE)
  3. the message pops up - select ‘no’
  4. Import > Spaceborne Sensors > Sentinel-1
  5. You shoud get a dialogue then where you can select the Swath and the Bursts (see below). Select them with ‘ok’
  6. You’re asked if a new directory for the PolSARpro files should be created > select ‘yes’
  7. The fields for Input data files are now filled (Co-Pol and X-Pol) > select ‘Ok’
  8. A message comes 'don’t forget to extract the data > this is not an error.
  9. Import > Extract > Full resolution (if you want a subset, create a subset first). This actually loads your data.

To view the data you need to install Gimp and link it in PolSARpro

Of course, dual-pol data of Sentinel-1 is not the optimal case for polarimetry but there are some applications which also work on two polarisations.

You’ll find information on the single steps in the documentation:
