"Path Image" products are recommended for individuals and organisations experienced in image processing. The "Path Image" product is aligned parallel to the satellite’s orbit path. Latitude and longitude positional information has been added to represent the first, mid, and last pixel positions of each line of data. Data from all beam modes can be processed to this product. 2, record 2, English, - %5C%22Path%20Image%5C%22%20product
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The difference between "Path Image" and "Path Image Plus" processing lies in the procedure used to calibrate the data. "Path Image Plus" uses a smaller pixel spacing to retain full RADARSAT beam mode resolution which will enhance your ability to measure point targets. However, it will create a digital file which is considerably larger than a "Path Image" product. 3, record 2, English, - %5C%22Path%20Image%5C%22%20product

"Path Image Plus" uses smaller pixel spacing than "Path Image" to retain full RADARSAT beam mode resolution. This will enhance your ability to make detailed analyses of point targets(e. g., ships, isolated buildings), linear features(e. g., pipelines, drainage networks), or to obtain subsequent spatial information if required. However, it will create a digital file that is considerably larger than a "Path Image" product. Data from all beam modes, with the exception of ScanSAR, can be processed to this product. 2, record 3, English, - %5C%22Path%20Image%20Plus%5C%22%20product
