Easy to get the info out of archive.org - according to the last snapshot the info was a summary from:
RADARSAT-2 Product Description. MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. RN-SP-52-1238. Issue 1/13: March 21, 2016.
RADARSAT-2 NITF 2.1 Product Format Definition. MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. RN-SP-52-8207. Issue 2/1: May 22, 2015.
RADARSAT-2 Product Format Definition. MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., , RN-RP-51-2713, Issue 1/5. November 24, 2003.
Though those publications, like most RS2 info, is proprietary / probably need some sort of NDA to access those from MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates.
The relevant info was:
File name | Format | Required | Contents/details |
---|---|---|---|
product.xml | Extensible Markup Language | Yes | Key file name. Contains metadata that applies to the data set. |
imagery_n.tif | GeoTIFF | Yes | Image data, one file for each polarization channel, where n represents HH or HV or VH or VV, as applicable. |
BrowseImage.tif | TIFF | No | Image browse file in TIFF format. |
lutSigma.xml | Extensible Markup Language | Yes, for all products except SSG and SPG | Lookup table (LUT) to transform raster values to sigma-nought (sigma0) values. |
lutBeta.xml | Extensible Markup Language | Yes, for all products except SSG and SPG | Lookup table (LUT) to transform raster values to beta-nought (sigma0) values. |
lutGamma.xml | Extensible Markup Language | Yes, for all products except SSG and SPG | Lookup table (LUT) to transform raster values to gamma-nought (sigma0) values. |
RS2EULA*.pdf | Portable Document Format | No | Product end-user license agreement (EULA). |
Readme.txt | ASCII | No | Readme file. |
label.txt | ASCII | No | Label file. |
However i think it's out of scope for us to document proprietary thirdparty file structures in gamma_insar
, especially when as far as I'm aware there's multiple RS2 data brokers w/ different data formats - and it's not us who define what structure we support (but rather GAMMA itself who supports different data formats).
