Opening imagery

You can only open one data set at a time and you cannot save data sets.

To open a data set

  1. In the SAR Polarimetry Target Analysis window, on the File menu, click Open.
  2. In the File Selector window, open the folder containing the data set you want.
  3. Select the key file for the data set, and then click Open.

    The key file is a single file that represents the data type to GDB. For information about the key file for each supported data product, see Supported polarimetric SAR data products.

    If a raster you are opening contains a rotation, a message appears, prompting you to select how you want to display the raster.

    1. Select one of the following:
      • North Up: Display the raster aligned with the rotation from the file.
      • Raster Up: Display the raster as a rectangular grid aligned with the area.
    2. Click OK.

The bands are displayed in the Target Selection window, and you can expand Numerical Output, Graphical Output, or both to select (or otherwise define) the available parameters.
