Snaphu cant open file snaphu.img

I am trying to create a deformation map using SNAP 12.0.1. I am using Windows 10.
When I want to use SNAPHU, an error occurred. I read all the previous topics in this forum; however, I am unable to solve the problem.

I used Snaphu Export function. In snaphu folder, 6 files were created. When I want to unwrap, I see the error.

can’t open file .snaphu.img

Firstly, I used snaphu 1.4.2. Then I used snaphu 2.0.4. I see the same error.
The plugin and the bundle have been installed.
In system properties, Environmental Variables, the path folder has been edited.
I used SNAP 8 and SNAP 12. No change.
I watched too many Youtube videos. I read too many tutorials. I did what were suggested.

What do I need to do?

Hi geology,

Make sure your .snaphu.img file has the exact name and path expected by the SNAP workflow — it must be in the same folder as the other export files, and not renamed. Run SNAP as Administrator and ensure the full path to SNAPHU is set in the system PATH (not just the folder) — sometimes Windows blocks access silently without elevated permissions.

Regards

Hi jerry7

Thank you for your reply.

Please check the pictures.

All 6 files are in this folder and not renamed. I run SNAP administrator.
Radar …Interferometric…Unwrapping… Snaphu unwrapping
It did not work.
In the folder where snaphu installed, and the files are located, I used cmd and the result is shown in the upper picture.

Is the path correct?
Regards

Hi, I also had that problem, it only reached the wrapped phase. Snap 12 has the same problem. I installed Snap 11 and it works fine. However, I have noticed errors and processing that takes longer when opening simple images, for example, Sentinel 1 in VV polarization. After making all the corrections, it keeps loading indefinitely. However, as for InSAR, it works fine with Snap 11.

Thank you Pedro019

I installed SNAP 11, but the same problem is seen.

Please see the picture. What does it mean Version: 8.0.0 ?

Hello

I think I found the solution. It is about the parameters in the Snaphu export part.
The default parameters are shown in this picture.

When I choose the parameters as shown in the Tutorial I used, the error is shown in this picture.

I think the parameters should be selected for our own study area. I need to learn the meaning of the parameters in Export part. How can I learn them?
