It's hard to get proper visualizations of SAR imagery due to high image dynamics. I have spent quite some time tweaking this one, which represents the parameters of the dual-pol H-alpha decomposition on the new Sentinel-1C sensor! Disclaimer: it's visually compelling, but probably not physically accurate. :)

EO-Tools 2025.1.1 is out!
Users can now choose one of SRTM, ALOS-World3D, Copernicus 30m and 90m DEMs in both Sentinel-1 InSAR and SLC processors.
EO-Tools 2025.1.0 "Happy New Year" edition is out!
Exciting new capability: terrain correction can now be applied in the SLC processor by choosing cal_type="terrain".
Check out the example notebook:
https://eo-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/s1-easy-terrain-flattening/
Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

This looks like an image from a retro sci-fi movie but it's actually a piece of a simulated SAR image rotated by 90 degrees. SAR-art.
To follow up on my previous post about InSAR coherence, this is an example showing how coherence changes when built-up areas replace vegetation and how it compares to optical. All images have been processed with EO-Tools ;)

EO-Tools version 2024.10.1 is out!
- New features: better S1 coherence estimator - multilooking is now performed prior to coherence computation. It avoids averaging the coherence itself (theoretically sounder approach).
- Bugfix: an error with DEM download due to Planetary Computer now requiring signed urls was fixed.

A great application of interferometric coherence is the masking out of vegetation to focus on built-up areas (or the opposite). The next version of eo-tools will introduce some improvements to the current coherence estimation implementation. Here is an example on the city of Berlin, displayed in QGIS.

EO-Tools version 2024.10.0 is out!
New features:
- Zipped S1 products can now be processed without prior unzipping (kudos to gdal/rasterio for making this easy),
- InSAR processing of partially overlapping products (like for instance from S1A and S1B) is possible provided they share the same orbit
plus some other minor changes - see the release notes: https://eo-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog/

Hmm, if anyone wants to test synthetic-aperture-radar on a drone (with ability to resolve a cell phone), have a target area in Oregon where a family has been looking for someone who went missing in 2020 that just pinged me for help. Satellite imaging is not going to help, too many trees. #SyntheticApertureRadar #SearchAndRescue #RemoteImaging
