xsar

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Level-1 GRD python mapper for efficient xarray/dask based processing

Install

Conda

1. Install xsar (without the readers)

For a faster installation and less conflicts between packages, it is better to make the installation with mamba

conda install -c conda-forge mamba

2. install xsar (without the readers)

mamba install -c conda-forge xsar

3. Add optional dependencies

• Add use of Radarsat-2 :

mamba install -c conda-forge xradarsat2

• Add use of RCM (RadarSat Constellation Mission)

pip install xarray-safe-rcm

• Add use of Sentinel-1

mamba install -c conda-forge xarray-safe-s1

Pypi

1. install xsar (this will only allow to use Sentinel-1)

pip install xsar

2. install xsar with optional dependencies (to use Radarsat-2, RCM...)

• install xsar including Sentinel-1 :

pip install xsar[S1]

• install xsar including Radarsat-2 :

pip install xsar[RS2]

• install xsar including RCM :

pip install xsar[RCM]

• install xsar including multiple readers (here Radarsat-2 and RCM):

pip install xsar[RS2,RCM]
