beta0 output possible with snap.util.geocode? #203

Closed peterfriedl closed 2 years ago

peterfriedl commented 2 years ago

I wonder if it is possible to generate beta0-images with snap.util.geocode. I only see gamma0 and sigam0 as possible output options. However, maybe there is a way to fork out beta0 from intermediate products generated during processing. Thanks for helping!

Hi @peterfriedl. This option used to exist in earlier versions but I decided to remove it. In my opinion beta0 only really makes sense in radar geometry but is pretty useless in map geometry (because the backscatter of a pixel does no longer represent the area it covers). So I thought it would only be misleading if it could be selected as option.
Do you see anything speaking against this?

Closing this since there has not been any update in a longer time
