The CEOS Reader Software Package contains the following software:
- CEOS_READER which reads SIR-C data from tape, copies data to disk, reads headers and outputs ASCII header files to disk.
- DCOMP contains subroutines for decompression and recompression of SIR-C data. For any format SIR-C data or AIRSAR format data, DCOMP will synthesize any polarization from quad pol data or a given polarization from dual and single pol data to a byte image. DCOMP also multilooks data to the desired amount.
- CVERT software which converts data between different AIRSAR and SIR-C data formats. CVERT also multilooks data to the desired amount.
- SIRC-REG software displays and co-registers SIR-C, XSAR, AIRSAR, and byte image data with and IDL graphical interface.
- RAVEN software runs with an IDL graphical interface and synthesizes any polarization from quad pol data, and calculates polarization signatures, performs statistical analysis. RAVEN works with both SIR-C and AIRSAR format data.
- DB-BYTE software creates and reads the db-byte SIR-C format.
The SIRC Utilities Software, which is part of the CEOS Reader Software Package, is written in IDL and includes the following programs:
- SIRC_Synth: Image synthesis from decompressed SIR-C data. Allows the user to synthesize trial byte images using subsampled data. When the user approves the look of the trial image, an image is synthesized from the original data.
- SIRC_GetImgInf: Prints out the number of samples, number of records, data format and mode given the SIRC ascii header.
- SIRC_Extract: Draw polygons on a SIR-C image. Compute stats on values inside the polygons.
- ViewByte: Display a byte image. Scales the image to fit on the screen if necessary.
- ViewRGB: Displays a 3 color overlay given three byte images. Scales the image to fit the screen if necessary.
