Subsetting prior to calibration leading to NullPointerException (SNAP 10)

Microwave Toolbox
1

Hi all,

I am running into an issue with calibrating Sentinel-1 and RADARSAT Constellation Mission images after subsetting them.

Subsetting was done using geographic coordinates. When moving on to calibrate, either a single image or in batch processing, this error is produced. So far I have experienced this with Sentinel-1 EW, and RCM ScanSAR 50 and 100 GRD images. In the past this has never been an issue, so it may be something to do with the SNAP 10 update.

Here are the full details of the error:

Any help much appreciated.

Try calibrating first. In general it is a good rule of thumb to do the operations that are closer to the satellite (orbits, calibration) before anything else.

I just tried doing calibration first and got this error when trying to subset after.

Subsetting after calibration won’t be an issue, but it’s been very useful to be able to subset prior to terrain correction as I’m processing 100s of images. My current work flow which had been working for a few months is subset with geographic coordinates > calibrate > terrain correct.

Jira ticket SNAP-3781 created. Try to change your graph by setting the copyMetadata parameter to true: <copyMetadata>true</copyMetadata>

Changing copyMetadata to true worked. Thank you!
