Tools and methods for visualizing real time flows of previously “invisible” fields are expanding but not maturing
RS4GeoHZ @GfzRemote Thrilled to announce the release of #SARVey, an open-source #software for the #InSAR time-series analysis using both #Persistent & #Distributed scatterers in #Python. https://github.com/luhipi/sarvey
Tools and methods for visualizing real time flows of previously “invisible” fields are expanding but not maturing
There are about 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet now. Where on the Internet have you provided a browser accessible place to see and experiment with your open source models, tools and data? If you require every Internet user to install and maintain complex and ever-changing toolkits and dependencies, that costs too much for Internet users as a whole and is highly biased toward a few insiders, who usually benefit only themselves.
Static “documentation” in this day and age? If you add a low cost and universally accessible LLM to index and answer questions and teach what you learned and your methods, then it can at least make an attempt to translate the natural human languages, hundreds on the Internet. If your concepts are not translating into all human methods, that is OK. But perhaps the truly universal algorithms and automate-able methods will be the most profound and used the widest.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)
I can read at https://github.com/luhipi/sarvey the many software, organizational and individual human dependencies of what you are doing. I appreciate you wrote clear “Credits” but it came last and the “German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport” SAR4Infra project is no longer funded. You said (2020-2024) and their site says the funding period was (1 Nov 2022 – 31 Oct 2023
My impression is that it will not be maintained in its present form. You only give pictures of the names of groups and have not curated a clear map of your resources or intentions, purposes and goal – with regard to these mathematical and computer methods, services and groups.
The LUHIPI (Leibniz University Hannover – Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation) GitHub “repository” link you gave, shows only a tiny wrapper. It has many dependencies that are not stable (internet properties and content, tools and resources) or interested.
( “Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar”) does have about 312,000 entries today on Google search. So it has formed its own, mostly insular and closed and inaccessible “industry”.
“InSAR” sounds really technical and scientific. And, any project that uses “interferometric” gets more attention on the Internet. So you have some good click-bait.
Now I remember satellite InSAR is marketing new services. So some of that growth is driven by advertising and promotion. All organizations promote themselves, no matter their funding sources or goals. All the global and systemic issues become institutionalized, pay salaries and produce papers, most of that is inaccessible, and never actually does anything. That is the issue I studied every day these last 27 years of the Internet Foundation. Particularly “climate models” and “fusion”.
I think you ought to try it on the daily sun and multispectral lidar for earths atmosphere. Inside the earth and inside the sun and moon.
I have been waiting 50 years for the “climate change” groups to get their act together, without forming new monopolies, but it seems it will never happen.
It is just “data engineering” after all. I was checking that yesterday and combining optical, acoustic, electromagnetic, magnetic and gravitational “correlation networks” seems nearer. It is ripe for consolidation. Interferometry can be “software defined”, not dependent on specialized materials, or only certain frequencies and energies.
But if the software or algorithms or packages and groups all keep churning, the 8.2 Billion humans will never see any benefits. Not even token “words only” ones.
It seems none of these groups using the Internet, ever, themselves, actually read what they post on the Internet.
