Deburst (Image Analyst)

Summary

Merges the multiple bursts from the input Sentinel-1 Single Look Complex (SLC) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and outputs a single, seamless subswath raster.

Illustration

Usage

• This tool is applicable to Sentinel-1 SLC Interferometric Wide (IW) and Extra Wide (EW) swath mode radar data.

• Merging of bursts is necessary to create a continuous subswath raster.

• This tool does not support a geodatabase as an output location.

Parameters

Dialog

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input Radar Data	The input radar data.	Raster Dataset; Raster Layer
Output Radar Data	The debursted radar data.	Raster Dataset
Polarization Bands (Optional)	The polarization bands that will be corrected. The first band is selected by default. Select all polarization bands if the output will be with the SAR Analysis tools.	String

Python

Deburst(in_radar_data, out_radar_data, {polarization_bands})

Name	Explanation	Data Type
in_radar_data	The input radar data.	Raster Dataset; Raster Layer
out_radar_data	The debursted radar data.	Raster Dataset
polarization_bands [polarization_bands,...] (Optional)	The polarization bands that will be corrected. The first band is selected by default. Select all polarization bands if the output will be with the SAR Analysis tools.	String

Code sample

Deburst example 1 (Python window)

In this example, the Deburst function is used on the VV polarization.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\Data\SAR"

outRadar = arcpy.ia.Deburst("S1A_IW_SLC__1SDV_20230708T004847_20230708T004914_049325_05EE6E_CDB3.SAFE\manifest.safe\IW3", "VV") 
outRadar.save("IW3_manifest_Dbst.crf")

Deburst example 2 (stand-alone script)

In this example, the Deburst function is used on the VV polarization.

# Import system modules and check out ArcGIS Image Analyst extension license

out_radar=r"C:\Data\SAR\SLC\IW3_manifest_Dbst.crf"
polarization="VV"

# Execute
