Array's GEOINT SAR Toolbox contains a Product Library tool that optimizes the identification of data products in a database for fast retrievable of the metadata of locally stored products. Search results are displayed in a table listing product name, path, mission, product type, acquisition date, pass, pixel spacing, etc. without actually opening the original products. The footprint of each image is outlined on the world map over top of Blue Marble images with a place names vector layer. Multilooked quicklooks of the images are also generated and stored in the database for quick previewing.
The Product Library can optionally automatically add new metadata to the database whenever a product is manually opened. The user may also define a list of repository folders that will be scanned recursively for new or modified products.
The product readers of the Toolbox are able to abstract the metadata from each product into the Generic Product Model of the Toolbox. Thereby, the Product Library and all processing tools of the Toolbox are able to work with the metadata in this common form without requiring the user to manually input any metadata.
Products may be searched in terms of mission, product type, beam mode, ground location, date and time of acquisition, processing history, previously defined AOIs, and suggested image pairing. Products may also be searched by graphically drawing an area of interest on the world map and querying the database for products that cover the AOI.
You may then select from the resulting table of products which products to open, add to a project, or batch process directly from the Product Library.
The Product Library can also suggest images for CCD pairing based on geolocation, product type, pass, resolution, and acquisition time.
