Using MDX for visualization of SAR and InSAR data

For installation notes go here.

mdx:

• MDX is a versitile tool for imaging SAR data, and has many command-line options. Some help for these can be found at The ROIPAC Wiki.
• Since the program is graphics-heavy, this is best done using the computer you are locally sitting at rather than bringing up images over the network. Actually, it appears that MDX is only running on a few machine because of some library incompatabilities and so you should try to log into PELE for the time being (I haven't tested them all yet).

mdx.pl:

• For our benefit there is a perl script that makes some of this work easier.
• The program reads a number of formats

  Recognizes: *.slc
              *.int
              *.cor
              *.unw
              *.amp
              *.hgt
              *.hgt_holes
              *.dem
              *.dte
              *.dtm
              *.rect
              *.msk
              *.byt
              *.flg
  

• For any file that you are imaging, an 'rsc' header files is also necessary.
• Image a final interferogram

  % mdx.pl filt_990915-991020-sim_ODR_4rlks.int
  

  The above should give you three different options for an image:
  1. A composite Interferogram
  2. Amplitude only
  3. Phase only
