Google Earth is a 3D planet viewer that lets you interactively navigate satellite imagery, maps, terrain, and so forth.

Google Earth is available for GNU/Linux from their web site, but is non-free software and is undistributable. It also does not integrate well into a Debian system.

This utility makes it possible to build your own personal Debian package of Google Earth. The packaging itself is Free Software, but the Google Earth program is governed by the copyright holder (Google), so you may be limited as to what you can do with the resulting package (i.e. no redistribution, etc). This package will simply help you create the package, it is your responsibility to use the resulting package responsibly.

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.

There are many applications, like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), fringe pattern analysis, tomography and spectroscopy, which as part of their fundamental operation depend upon the extraction of a phase signal from their input image. Usually the phase is available in a form that suffers from 2-pi phase jumps due to the use of the mathematical arctangent function, which produces an inherently wrapped output. This wrapped phase is unusable until the phase discontinuities are removed.

SNAPHU is an implementation of the Statistical-cost, Network-flow Algorithm for Phase Unwrapping particularly suitable for SAR interferometry applications. 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.

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 1000000 pixels in the input interferogram.

The software consists of a program, lodr, to list the content of the Orbital Data Records (ODRs), a subroutine library, getorb.a, that can be ported to some other program to interpolate the orbits and any given moment, and an example program getorb to demonstrate the use of the getorb.a library.

IMCORR takes two images and a series of input parameters and attempts to match small subscenes (called 'chips') from the two images. The program uses a fast fourier transform based version of a normalized cross-covariance method.

The most common use of this type of algorithm in image processing is to accurately locate tie-point pairs in two images to coregister them. However, if the images are already coregistered by other means, the algorithm may be used to find the displacements of moving features, provided that the features show little change in their appearance, and that the motion is strictly translational.

The correlation, peak finding, and error estimation routines in IMCORR are derived from FORTRAN subroutines from the Land Analysis System software (LAS) written at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and USGS Eros Data Center.

IMCORR consists of a C code wrapper which makes the use of the routines more straightforward and automated for velocity-mapping applications.

Points2Grid generates Digital Elevation Models (DEM) using a local gridding method. The local gridding algorithm computes grid cell elevation using a circular neighbourhood defined around each grid cell based on a radius provided by the user. This neighbourhood is referred to as a bin, while the grid cell is referred to as a DEM node.

Up to four values - minimum, maximum, mean, or inverse distance weighted (IDW) mean - are computed for points that fall within the bin. These values are then assigned to the corresponding DEM node and used to represent the elevation variation over the neighbourhood represented by the bin. If no points are found within a given bin, the DEM node receives a value of null.

The Points2Grid service also provides a null filing option, which applies an inverse distance weighted focal mean via a square moving window of 3, 5, or 7 pixels to fill cells in the DEM that have null values.

GIAnT is a suite of Python libraries and scripts that implement various published time-series InSAR algorithms in a common framework. GIAnT was developed for

     algorithms.
  3. Cal-Val for time-series InSAR.

GMTSAR is an open source Interferometric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 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:

  1. a preprocessor for each satellite data type (e.g., ERS, Envisat,
     and ALOS) to convert the native format and orbital information
     into a generic format
  2. an InSAR processor to focus and align stacks of images, map
     topography into phase, and form the complex interferogram
  3. 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 postscript files and KML images for Google Earth. A set of C-shell scripts has been developed for standard 2-pass processing as well as image alignment for stacking and time series. ScanSAR processing is also possible but requires a knowledgeable user.

PyAPS is a python implementation of stratified tropospheric correction methods using inputs from global atmospheric models (GAM).

This module is part of the Pytroll project.

ROI_PAC allows researchers in the area of topography and surface change to apply Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) methods.

InSAR is the synthesis of conventional SAR techniques and interferometry techniques that have been developed over several decades in radio astronomy and radar remote sensing, and in recent years has opened entirely new application areas for radar in the earth system sciences, including topographic mapping and geodesy [v. e.g., Thompson et al. 1986, Massonnet and Feigl 1998, Rosen et al. 2000].

ROI_PAC uses raw radar data, ancillary information from telemetry and navigation solutions, and digital elevation models (DEM; externally provided or interferometrically derived) to produce a variety of derived data products, including the full resolution images, interferograms, phase images measured as principal value and continuously "unwrapped," DEMs, and error estimates.

The Varres package implements a curvature-based quadtree-like interferogram resampler.

The original matlab package has been extended to include support for using a predefined map for resampling and estimation of an approximate covariance matrix for the samples.
