Inter-comparison-of-Large-Scale-Optical-and-Infrared-Sensors.pdf
Proceedings of the workshop held from 12-14 October 2004 at ESA-ESTEC (Noordwijk, The Netherlands). The objective of the workshop was to present and exchange experiences and knowledge from work on inter-comparing large scale optical sensors at different product levels. This includes the evaluation and reduction of calibration bias and the validation of geophysical product uncertainties.

Data - EO Sign In Authentication (Open)
ERS-1/2 SAR IM Single Look Complex L1 [SAR_IMS_1P]
The SAR SLC product is a single look complex acquired in Image Mode. It is a digital image, with slant range and phase preserved, generated from raw SAR data using up-to-date auxiliary parameters. The products are intended for use in SAR quality assessment, calibration and interferometric applications. A minimum number of corrections and interpolations are performed on the data. Absolute calibration parameters (when available) are provided in the product annotation. Product characteristics: Pixel size: 8 m (range - across track) x 4 m (azimuth - along track – varying slightly depending on acquisition Pulse Repetition Frequency) Scene area: 100 km (range) x at least 102.5 km (azimuth) Scene size: 5000 samples (range) x at least 30000 lines (azimuth) Pixel depth: 32 bits signed integer (16 bits I, 16 bits Q) Total product volume: 575 MB Projection: Slant range- Number of looks: 1.
