This file (.ini) is an example containing the steps to get to a calibrated (linear scale) and geocoded image starting from an ERS PGS PRI CEOS format product.The final output is a GEOTIFF image. Furthermore it has been foreseen as additional output also the backscattering image mirrored respect to the product geometry and exported in BIL format. 1) Header extraction 2) Full Resolution 3) Quick look 3) Power to amplitude 4) ADC Compensation 4) IMAGE BACKSCATTERING - Calibration (output in linear scale) 6) Export in Geotiff 7) Flip backscattering Image (Mirroring) 8) BIL GENERATION of the FLIPPED Backscattering image N.B.: The names used for the directory can be changed according to the user. Don't forget to avoid blank space in the directory path name and in any files name created inside BEST.
