Radar sees at night. Now your COP does too.

Drop a Sentinel-1 SAFE zip on the server like a COG — dB-scale amplitude through ArcGIS REST ImageServer, speckle filtering included via GDAL and pure C#. No SNAP required to view.

Sentinel-1 GRD/SLC dB amplitude Lee / Refined Lee / Gamma-Map TerraSAR-X / PAZ NITF SICD SNAP gpt sidecar

Amplitude viewing, zero toolbox

Upload a SAFE zip. Get a rendered scene.

Same upload path as any COG — .safe, .zip, .dim, .par. Render via ImageServer exportImage with SAR raster functions.

dB amplitude

10·log10(|z|² + ε) with PercentClip — standard −25..−5 dB view.

Complex SLC

I+Q bands (CInt16/CFloat32) → magnitude, intensity, or phase in pure C#.

Speckle suite

Lee, Refined Lee, Gamma-Map, Enhanced Lee, Frost, Lee-Sigma.

Sensor coverage

Sentinel-1, TerraSAR-X/PAZ, CEOS archives, NewSpace SICD/SIDD via NITF.

Optional SNAP sidecar

One POST to analysis-ready backscatter

Apply-Orbit → Thermal-Noise → Calibration (σ⁰) → Speckle → RD Terrain Correction → dB. Absent SNAP → 503; viewing still works.

  • GRD and SLC pipelines (TOPSAR-Split + Deburst for SLC)
  • DEM options: Copernicus 30 m, SRTM, GETASSE30
  • Typical IW GRD: 5–20 min · 30 min timeout

All-weather collection, one-map exploitation.

Register a Sentinel-1 scene next to COGs, radar tracks, and blue force — same REST surface your GIS clients speak.
