InSAR Scientific Computing Environment (ISCE) Writer Feature Type Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace. This opens the Feature Type Parameter Editor.

Tip To always display the editor in FME Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.

General

All feature types share similar General parameters, which may include Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer information, and Geometry.

In most Writer Feature Type parameter dialogs, you can also control Dynamic Schema Definitions. Some database formats accept Table or Index Qualifier prefixes on the output table feature type.

Important These parameters apply only to a selected feature type, not to the entire writer. If a feature type parameter listed here conflicts with a writer-level parameter, then the writer parameter will be ignored and this feature type parameter will be used.

Interleaving Type

Interleaving refers to the storage of multi-component interpretations and the order in which the individual cell values are stored together.

Bands in FME use Band Sequential (BSQ) interleaving, indicating that they are all stored uniquely.

Band Interleaved by Pixel (BIP) may be less efficient for reading and writing by FME, but is more widely supported by other applications.

If not specified, the default interleaving is Band Interleaved by Line (BIL).

Image Type

ISCE has six possible image types that can all contain the same binary data, but that have different semantic meaning when interpreted by ISCE.

The default is Single Look Complex (.slc). Other options are Radar Amplitude Image (.amp), Digital Elevation Model (.dem), Complex-Valued Interferogram (.int), Magnitude and Height Image (.mht), and Raw Image (.raw).

No matter which Image Type is selected, an XML metafile (.xml) will also be written.
