ALOS_PRE_PROCESS_SLC(1)

✨ ALOS_PRE_PROCESS_SLC(1) ✨

Okay bestie, this is the User Commands page for ALOS_pre_process_SLC πŸ’–. The manual name is ALOS_pre_process_SLC, and it's giving main character energy πŸ’….


🫢 NAME

  • ALOS_pre_process_SLC β€” it's literally just the name of the program, no cap πŸ’€

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS

ALOS_pre_process_SLC imagefile LEDfile [-radius RE] [-swap] [-V]
[-debug] [-quiet]

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so first things first: this program is part of GMTSAR πŸ¦‹.

It creates data.SLC and writes out parameters (PRM format) to stdout ✨. Lowkey iconic.

Here's what you feed it:

  • imagefile β€” an ALOS Level 1.1 complex file (CEOS format) πŸ“Έ
  • LEDfile β€” an ALOS Level 1.1 LED file (CEOS leaderfile format) 🧚

πŸ’« Options

  • -near near_range β€” set the near_range in meters (m) πŸ“
  • -radius RE β€” set the local earth radius in meters (m) 🌍
  • -SLC_factor fact β€” the scale factor for converting float to int SLC. Default is 1.0 πŸ”’
  • -swap β€” do a byte-swap. It should be automatic, so you probably won't need it πŸ”
  • -ALOS1 β€” ALOS2 L1.1 data format πŸ€”
  • -ALOS2 β€” ALOS2 L1.1 data format, and this is the default πŸ‘‘
  • -LED β€” write a generic LED file πŸ“
  • -noLED β€” oldstyle move: use the ldr file for orbits directly πŸ•°οΈ
  • -V β€” verbose mode, write information πŸ”Š
  • -debug β€” write even more information πŸ”
  • -quiet β€” don't write any information 🀫
  • -tbias tbias β€” correct the clock bias. A positive value means plus βž•
  • -rbias tbias β€” correct the range bias. A positive value means increase near range πŸ“ˆ
Heads up bestie: the original page says "ALOS2 L1.1 data format" for -ALOS1 too. That looks like a copy-paste slip, so I kept it exactly as written. Also, the original had -noLED and -V jammed together as "directlyn-V", so I split them into two separate options πŸ™ˆ.

🧚 Example

ALOS_pre_process_SLC IMG-HH-ALOS2011986990-140813-HBQR1.1__A LED-ALOS2011986990-140813-HBQR1.1__A -SLC_factor 1. -rbias -70.0000 -tbias 0.068759

πŸ“œ Usage

The original page repeats the entire DESCRIPTION block again under a "Usage:" label, word for word. The usage line is:

Usage: ALOS_pre_process_SLC imagefile LEDfile [-radius RE] [-swap] [-V]
[-debug] [-quiet]

Everything after that line is the same as the DESCRIPTION section above πŸ’–.
