+Pkg-Description: Statistical-Cost, Netowrk-Flow Algorithm for Phase Unwrapping
+ Two-dimensional phase unwrapping is the process of recovering
+ unambiguous phase data from a 2-D array of phase values known only
+ modulo 2pi rad.
+ .
+ SNAPHU is an implementation of the Statistical-cost, Network-flow
+ Algorithm for Phase Unwrapping proposed by Chen and Zebker. This
+ algorithm poses phase unwrapping as a maximum a posteriori probability
+ (MAP) estimation problem, the objective of which is to compute the most
+ likely unwrapped solution given the observable input data. Because the
+ statistics relating the input data to the solution depend on the
+ measured quantity, SNAPHU incorporates three built-in statistical
+ models, for topography data, deformation data, and smooth generic data.
+ The posed optimization problem is solved approximately with use of
+ network-flow techniques.
+ .
+ SNAPHU always produces complete unwrapped solutions, and, in our tests,
+ its accuracy is comparable to or better than that of other available
+ algorithms. As SNAPHU uses an iterative optimization procedure, its
+ execution time depends on the difficulty of the interferogram. In
+ single-tile mode the required memory is on the order of 100 MB per
+ 1,000,000 pixels in the input interferogram.
+ .
+ The software is written in C and should run on most Unix/Linux
+ platforms. It is freely available to the public, subject to the
+ conditions outlined in the README file included with the distribution.

+Pkg-Description:  ENVISAT Product Reader API for C
+ The ENVISAT Product Reader API is a set of C-source code files
+ supporting developers who want to use MERIS, AATSR, and ASAR data
+ products of the ESA ENVISAT satellite in their software.
+ .
+ The ENVISAT Product Reader API is developed and distributed under the
+ terms of open source software development.
+ .
+ The main use case for the C API is the ingestion of ENVISAT data into
+ * new scientific algorithms developed for the MERIS, AATSR or ASAR
+   sensors or even all of them,
+ * existing scientific software packages written in C or C++, or COTS
+   software systems which allow for extension using a C or C++
+   interface.

+Pkg-Description: A GUI front-end for BEST written in Python and GTK+
+ BEST (Basic Envisat SAR Toolbox) is a collection of executable software
+ tools that has been designed to facilitate the use of ESA (the European
+ Space Agency) SAR data. It operates according to user-generated
+ parameters files.
+ .
+ BESTGUI allows you to easily generate the parameters files for the BEST
+ tools and launch the processing from the GUI. It provides:
+   * enhanced menus and toolbars
+   * persistent preferences
+   * smart environment handling
+   * colorized output log
+   * progress bars for processing completion
+   * the ability of stopping a running task from the GUI (stop button)
+   * a dialog for the AoI specification
+   * output preview for all (and not only) the tools that have an image
+     as output

+ facilities. It can terrain correct, geocode, apply polarimetric
+ decompositions to multi-pol SAR data, and save to several common
+ imagery formats including GeoTIFF. Other software included in the
+ package are an image viewer, metadata viewer, a projection coordinate
+ converter, and a variety of command line tools.

+Pkg-Description: Basic Envisat SAR Toolbox

+ .
+ The purpose of the Toolbox is not to duplicate existing commercial
+ packages, but to complement them with functions dedicated to the
+ handling of SAR products obtained from the ASAR (Advanced Synthetic
+ Aperture Radar) onboard Envisat and the AMIs (Active Microwave
+ Instrument) onboard ERS 1/2.

+Pkg-Description: Repeat Orbit Interferometry PACkage
+ ROI_PAC is a software package created by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
+ division of NASA and CalTech for processing SAR images to create InSAR
+ images, named interferograms. ROI_PAC stands for Repeat Orbit
+ Interferometry PACkage. It is a UNIX based software package.

+Pkg-Description: Orfeo Tool Box
+ In the frame of the Methodological Part of the ORFEO Accompaniment
+ Program to prepare, accompany and promote the use and the exploitation
+ of the images derived from Pleiades (PHR) and Cosmo-Skymed (CSK)
+ systems, the French Space Agency (CNES) decided to develop the Orfeo
+ Toolbox (OTB): a set of algorithmic components which allow to
+ capitalize the methodological know how, and therefore use an
+ incremental approach to take profit of the results of the
+ methodological research.
+ .
+ ORFEO Toolbox (OTB) is distributed as an open source library of image
+ processing algorithms. OTB is based on the medical image processing
+ library ITK and offers particular functionalities for remote sensing
+ image processing in general and for high spatial resolution images in
+ particular. The library is intensively tested on several platforms as
+ Linux, Unix and Windows. Most functionalities are also adapted to
+ process huge images using streaming and multi-threading as often as
+ possible.
+ .
+ Among other, OTB provides a number of heavily documented
+ functionalities as:
+   * image access: optimized read/write access for most of remote
+     sensing image formats, meta-data access, visualization;
+   * filtering: blurring, de-noising, enhancement;
+   * feature extraction: interest points, alignments, lines;
+   * image segmentation: region growing, watershed, level sets;
+   * classification: K-means, SVM, Markov random fields;
+   * change detection.

+Pkg-Description: Next ESA SAR Toolbox (NEST)
+ The Next ESA SAR Toolbox (NEST) is a user friendly open source toolbox
+ for reading, post-processing, analysing and visualising the large
+ archive of data (from Level 1) from ESA SAR missions including
+ ERS-1 & 2, ENVISAT and in the future Sentinel-1. In addition, NEST
+ supports handling of products from third party missions including
+ JERS-1, ALOS PALSAR, TerraSAR-X, Radarsat-2 and Cosmo-Skymed.
+ .
+ NEST helps the remote sensing community by supporting the handling of
+ various SAR products and complimenting existing software packages.
+ NEST has been built using the BEAM Earth Observation Toolbox and
+ Development Platform and it covers the functionality of the older Basic
+ Envisat SAR Toolbox BEST. NEST is currently undergoing development with
+ periodic new releases. The major new functionality in NEST over BEST is
+ an integrated viewer and orthorectification and mosaicking of SAR
+ images.
+ .
+ NEST is extensible with an API that allows users to easily create their
+ own plugin Readers, Processors and Writers. NEST is open source under
+ the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). If you are interested in
+ contributing by developing a reader or writer for a product please
+ contact us.
+ .
+ NEST is being developed by Array Systems Computing Inc. of Toronto
+ Canada under ESA Contract number 20698/07/I-LG.  InSAR functionalities
+ are being developed by a joint effort of PPO.labs, Delft University of
+ Technology and Array.
