Update S1 metadata files after crop with external tools

Microwave Toolbox
#1

Currently, subset operator seems to be broken. This turns any pipeline into quite a problem, because the whole product needs to be processed. I was wondering if there is any way to update noise and calibration xmls with a product subset through other manners after a product has been cropped with rasterio or GDAL. I tried to look over the Subset Operator but found nothing relevant.

Note: I am using SNAP in a Docker through the GPT tool, not the GUI version

#2

With ESA BEAM, I had products generated with 3rd party tools that lacked metadata, so used beampy to copy the GeoCoding. If you can use the GUI once to get a product with the correct GeoCoding you might be able to update products created with GPT.

print("Bands:   %s" % (list(band_names)))
navProduct = ProductIO.readProduct(sys.argv[2])
ProductUtils.copyGeoCoding(navProduct, sourceProduct)
print("Writing...")
ProductIO.writeProduct(sourceProduct,  sys.argv[3], 'NetCDF4-CF')
print("Done.")
