Vexcel‘s Swath™ Scansar Level 1 Processor is a high-performance and high-throughput SAR processor for data acquired by ALOS-PALSAR, ENVISAT-ASAR and Radarsat sensors in ScanSAR or Burst mode.
The Swath™ processor has been deployed at ERSDAC, Japan for producing image products from the ALOS-PALSAR sensor and has been certified by RSI in a number of international data processing facilities.
As a disk-to-disk processor, Swath™ imports the space agency standard Level 0 formats and produces the standard Level 1 formats.
A sophisticated Doppler analyzer exploits a suite of different algorithms for robust and high-accuracy Doppler estimation. The Doppler estimation is accurate to within 25 Hz to prevent scalloping in processed images.
Swath™ efficiently uses multiple hardware CPUs resulting in superior processing performance without sacrificing the outstanding image quality of the produced SAR imagery.
A user-friendly GUI allows for quick production of standard products, but also gives full control over all SAR processing parameters. An integrated batch processor facilitates the handling of large volume processing jobs.
