"Precision Map Image" products have even greater positional accuracy than "Map Image" products. Ground Control Points (GCPs) as well as a map projection are used to spatially align the image. To order a "Precision Map Image" product, ground control points from a map or provided through Global Positional Satellite (GPS) technology are required. To further enhance the positional accuracy of the image, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) can be used to correct terrain distortions. A DEM at sufficient detail will be needed to provide ortho-correction services.

OBS

Data from all single beam modes can be processed to this product (i.e., all but ScanSAR beam modes). "Precision Map Image" products are offered as 8-bit or 16-bit data products.

OBS

Three main categories of data products are available - RAW Data, Path-Oriented and "Map-Oriented" products. Precision Map Image processing level belongs to the "Map-Oriented" products.

OBS

"Precision Map Image" product: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

"Signal Data" (or "Raw data") products are unprocessed radar signals (simply an unprocessed matrix of time delays) formatted to the level 0 CEOS [Committee on Earth Observation Satellites] format. Clients will require SAR [Synthetic Aperture Radar] processing capabilities to use these products.

"Signal Data" product for Standard, Fine, Wide and all ScanSAR modes.

A "RAW Signal Data" product contains raw or unprocessed radar video baseband data in complex in-phase and quadrature signal (I and Q) format as they are recorded by the spacecraft. The only processing performed to the downlink X-band "raw signal data" is the frame synchronization, meaning re-assembly of the data into contiguous radar range lines in matrix form, and the CEOS [Committee on Earth Observations Satellite] formatting. Each range line of data is represented by one Signal Data Record in the RAW CEOS product.

OBS

The RAW product can contain any single beam mode, or for ScanSAR any combination of different beam modes, depending on the operation of the SAR instrument during the data reception or recording period. A RAW product cannot, however, combine data from more than one beam mode, i.e. data from two different beam modes are always packaged as two separate products. A RAW product must be SAR processed before it can be displayed as imagery. RAW products are typically produced on 8 mm (Exabyte) tapes. This is the standard medium for exchanging data between network stations.

OBS

Raw data products are available for all RADARSAT beam modes.
