[gdal-dev] Potential issue with Sentinel-1 SAFE driver

[Alessandro Amici]

Even,

furthermore subswaths typically have different pixel and line sizes.

But the subswath level is easy bit of Sentinel-1 data, the real fun starts
as you note that every individual tiff file is a collection of actual image
segments (the bursts) interleaved with black stripes. The image segments
actually overlaps by a small amount. As far as I can tell the current
driver doesn't make any effort to recompose the swath image.

As a matter of fact I'm not even sure what strategy can be used to make the
Sentinel-1 data fit into the normal GDAL data model. Maybe treating bursts
as image tiles?

Cheers,
Alessandro
