  InSAR processing system based on Generic Mapping Tools
  .
  GMTSAR is an open source Interferometric Synthetic Aperture RADAR
  (InSAR) processing system designed for users familiar with Generic
  Mapping Tools (GMT).
  .
  The code is written in C and will compile on any computer where GMT
  and NETCDF are installed.
  .
  The system has three main components:
   * a preprocessor for each satellite data type (ERS-1/2, Envisat,
     ALOS-1, TerraSAR-X, COSMOS-SkyMed, Radarsat-2, Sentinel-1A/B,
     and ALOS-2) to convert the native format and orbital information
     into a generic format;
   * an InSAR processor to focus and align stacks of images, map
     topography into phase, and form the complex interferogram;
   * a postprocessor, mostly based on GMT, to filter the interferogram
     and construct interferometric products of phase, coherence,
     phase gradient, and line-of sight displacement in both radar and
     geographic coordinates.
  .
  GMT is used to display all the products as pdf files and KML images
  for Google Earth. A set of shell scripts has been developed for
  standard 2-pass processing as well as geometric image alignment for
  stacking and time series.


The package will be maintained in debian-gis.
