Sar2cube-an open framework for an efficient setup of sar imagery in analysis ready data cubes

The usage of Sentinel-1 Single Look Complex (SLC) and its derived interferometric products was limited due to the complexity of the workflows and computational resources required to access, download, process, store, and exploit them. We propose SAR2Cube as a framework based on open source software capable to efficiently store Sentinel-1 Single Look Complex (SLC) images into data cubes and produce on-the-fly Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) products, also providing a benchmark with the official European Space Agency (ESA) SNAP processing toolbox.
