Enable Sentinel-1 EW SLC Processing
Adds support for processing Sentinel-1 Extra Wide (EW) mode SLC data through the OPERA RTC pipeline. Like IW mode, EW SLCs contain burst-level information that can be processed using the RTC tool. Below is a sample EW NRB burst product from the file
S1A_EW_SLC__1SDH_20220330T185405_20220330T185511_042554_051380_3E95Burst ID : t132_256983_ew4
Overview of Changes to RTC Code
A small amount of additional logic is required in the RTC project to detect whether an input Sentinel-1 SLC was acquired in IW or EW mode, and to set the number of sub-swaths accordingly before passing to s1-reader (3 for IW, 5 for EW).
NOTE These changes add new functionality without altering existing IW processing capabilities, and the RTC changes can therefore be merged independently of the dependent projects.
Other Dependencies to enable EW SLC processing
Full EW processing requires the following to be in place:
opera-db create --sensor-mode EW.The dependencies for RTC will therefore need to be updated with these changes to enable EW processing.
