The InSAR functionality of NEST is structured in two layers:

• The core layer is formed by JLinda (Java Library for interferometric data analysis) which is a standalone API/InSAR library, independent from the NEST/BEAM core, encapsulating the classes, functionalities and algorithms for the interferometric processing.

• The NEST InSAR operators are built on top of core classes from JLindapackage by using the NEST/BEAM Graph Processing Framework (GPF) and libraries.

InSAR functionality of NEST

ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use 4

Available in 509 beta Unwrapping via 3rd party sw (SNAPHU)

Available in 5A

Fully integrated and featured InSARprocessor within NEST

• Coregistration and resampling

• DEM assisted coregistration

• Products: interferogram and coherence

• Filtering: both spectral and phase

• Geo-coding

• Unwrapping

• DEM product

• Differential InSAR

• Cross InSAR (ERS-ENVISAT)

Only zero doppler and strip map data are fully supported

Objective

Generation of an Inteferogram over the ETNA Volcano, Sicily (Italy), using an ERS1&2 Tandem couple acquired on 1/2 August 1996.

ERS-1 SAR_SLC ORBIT 21159 – DATE 1-AUG-1995

ERS-2 SAR_SLC ORBIT 1486 – DATE 2-AUG-1995

Btemp [days]: -1 (Temporal baseline),Bperp [m]: -66.8 (Perpendicular baseline)

Height of ambiguity ~ 9300/66.8 = 139.2

N.B.: The slide deck is centred on the processing workflow and does not contain any explanation about the InSAR theoretical principles behind.

ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use 6

The exercise* will be done using the NEST DAT (interface) and consist mainly in:

1. Open and inspect the ERS Complex products;2. Baseline evaluation using the InSAR Stack Operator;3. Create a project;4. Subset the products; 5. Apply Precise (Delft) Orbits;6. Co-registration of Subsets;7. Flattened Interferogram generation;8. Coherence computation;9. Comparison interferogram vs coherence;10. Interferogram Phase filtering;11. Multilooking of filtered phase;12. Geocoding of flattened interferogram13. Export of results to Google Earth

* Please keep in mind that the proposed workflow is only an example of feasible processing

• Identification: Basic information on the product (Mission, Product type, Acquisition time, Pass, Track and Orbit)

• Metadata: This includes all the original metadata within the product, the Abstracted Metadata which is the important metadata fields used by the Operators in a common format and the Processing graph history recording the processing that was done

• Tie Point Grids: Raster grids created from interpolating the tie-points information within the product. The interpolation is done on the fly according to the product.

• Bands: The actual bands inside the product and virtual bands created by NEST from expressions. Different icons are used to distinguish these bands.

Why create a project1. A Project will help organize your data by storing all related work in one folder.

2. The project folders mirror the file structure of the physical hard disk. Therefore any change you make to the physical project folders on disk will be reflected in your project.

To create a project, select New Project from the File menu.

• NEST is able to download automatically few auxiliary data like the STRM v.4 (3” tiles) (JRC FTP (xftp.jrc.it)), Delft and ESA orbits.

• Auxiliary data downloaded into default folders according to the Settings Windows

• Internet is required! And The firewall must allow that.

• If your Internet settings are preventing the downloading, you still can download by yourself the DEM tiles and/orbits and put these manually in the NEST Settings Window directories.

In the HELP tab there is a “Test Connectivity” capability to check if the connection works well. Sometime even if Connection testing is successful, PC settings could prevent the downloading.
