The RADARSAT-2 XML Raster reader provides FME with access to data in the RADARSAT-2 XML format.
Overview
RADARSAT2 XML files contain header information which references underlying GeoTIFF files containing radar data. Each GeoTIFF file contains the raster data for a given polarization.
The reader supports band types of UInt16 and Int16. Bands containing complex data will be split into two bands of Int16 interpretation: the first represents the real portion, and the second represents the imaginary portion.
The reader supports collection of Ground Control Points (GCPs) from the XML document. At the present time, there is no support for a coordinate system on the dataset or GCPs.
Reader Overview
FME considers a single RADARSAT2 XML file to be a dataset.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data.
For comprehensive information about how FME processes raster data, see Rasters.
For each RADARSAT2 XML raster, there is only a single feature returned – this feature will contain the entire raster.
