LAR - Log Amplitude Ratio

SLC Pair to Log Amplitude Ratio

This repository contains jobs to convert S1-SLCP products to Log Amplitude Ratios (LARs) for creating Flood Proxy Maps v1 (FPMv1).

A LAR is created based on the below pairing system, using 2 SLCs --> 1 SLCP --> 1 FPM: 

Note: Since SLCP:LAR is 1:1, the pairing of SLCPs is not required to make LARs. Hence, user simply needs to facet on target SLCPs to execute the LAR job on.

Log Amplitude Ratio Products

Geocoded, multilooked LARs

logr_[burst][range_lks][az_lks].float.geo

Amplitude Products

Geocoded, multilooked amplitudes stored in 2 bands. Band 1 - Master scene's amp. Band 2 - Slave scene's amp.

amp_[subswath][range_lks][az_lks].amp.geo

Notes on S1 Log Amplitude Ratio

The LARs in this PGE are computed as such (from log_ratio.py):

  • (Latest) From dataset v2.0 onwards:

where A = Amplitudes of SLCs of the given date in the co-registered SLCPs

=> Negative values / darker pixels correspond to decreased amplitudes in the post-event scene and possible open-water flood.

  • Before dataset v2.0 (v1.x etc):

 where A = Amplitudes of SLCs of the given date in the co-registered SLCPs

=> Positive values / brighter pixels correspond to decreased amplitudes in the post-event scene and possible open-water flood.

How to Generate LAR Products

  1. Facet on the SLCP's from which LAR products will be generated.

  2. Click the On-Demand button to bring the action parameters modal up.

  3. Select the S1 Log Amplitude Ratio action. Default parameters are shown.

 

  1. Enter a tag.

  2. Select the priority and queue for the job.

  3. Click the Process Now button to submit the job that will create the LAR products.
