NEST (Next ESA SAR Toolbox) is an ESA toolbox with an integrated viewer for reading, post-processing and analysing ESA and 3rd party SAR data starting from Level 1. Distributed as fully open source, NEST allows users to easily develop new readers and post-processors for SAR data by means of a Java Application Programming Interface (API). NEST is developed by Array Systems Computing Inc. under contract to ESA.

 

NEST 2C is a stable release adding the following features:

  • Orthorectification for Envisat ASAR, ERS, and Radarsat2(not fully validated) products

  • Radiometric terrain correction for Envisat ASAR products

  • Retrocalibration with a DEM for Envisat ASAR products

  • Automatic import of 90m SRTM DEM

  • ASAR Wave-Mode product support

  • Layer Management

  • Vector Shape layers

  • Web Map Service (WMS) layers

  • NASA WorldWind integration

  • Map Projection & Subset operators

  • Ingestion and utilisation of external orbit files - DORIS VOR, POR and DELFT Precise Orbits are supported

  • Bug fixes and performance enhancements

 

Supported product formats include: ENVISAT ASAR, ERS AMI 1 & 2 (CEOS & Envisat format from PGS and VMP), JERS SAR, ALOS PALSAR, TerraSarX(except SSC), Radarsat 2, BEAM DIMAP, GeoTIFF, HDF, NetCDF, ENVI, PolsarPro, GETASSE30 DEM, ACE DEM, SRTM DEM

NEST 2C also improves on the features from past releases including:

  • A Display and Analysis Tool (DAT) SAR data visualisation, analysis and processing.

  • A Graph Processing Tool (GPT) for command line execution of batch processing chains.

  • Convert data to COTS file formats for use with third-party software

  • Creation and processing of graphs

  • Tiled image viewing and support for very large datasets

  • Coregistration of Detected and Complex Products

  • Reading, displaying and calibrating of ENVISAT ASAR, ERS 1 & 2 and ALOS PALSAR

  • Statistics, quick-looks and ingestion of parts or entire datasets

  • Conversion of Slant Range to Ground Range

  • Time domain Mulitlooking

  • Mean, Lee, Frost, Gamma Map Speckle Filtering

  • ASAR WSS Debursting

  • Principle Component Analysis

  • Resampling

  • Data Type Conversion

  • Band Arithmetic

  • Image Filtering

  • Third-party developers are able to extend software and add new readers, writers and operators.

 

NEST 2C is available for download and install for Windows, Linux and Mac on the website below.

The developers are still looking for new functionality that a SAR Toolbox must have to continue and to add new functionality to NEST.

Indoor Augmented Reality with Bing Maps


During this presentation of Blaise Aguera during TED 2010, you can see Bing Maps working from the sky towards street-level imagery and also showing images inside buildings. It even is capable adding real-time movie imagery from inside.
