Sentinel-1 Footprint
[Home] - [back to GFM Products]
The footprint of a Sentinel-1 GRD scene as provided in each data product is included in the before discussed manifest file.
The footprint is represented as human readable Java Topology Suite (JTS) object named “JTS footprint”.
The JTS footprint is converted into Well-known Text (WKT) and Well-known Binary (WKB) in the process of parsing and ingesting the acquired manifest files into the operated metadata database. WKT and WKB are originally defined by the OGC to describe simple features.
Hence, the Sentinel-1 footprint layer will be available as PostGIS layer accessible via all supported OGC mapping standards.
On-the-fly conversion to standalone data formats can be supported via standard GIS tools based on user request.
