Snaphu export fails for areas with NaN values (water, border pixels)

[loreabad6]

When doing the unwrapping, with a single tile, Snaphu fails with the following:

snaphu v1.4.2
27 parameters input from file snaphu.conf (84 lines total)
only one tile--disregarding multiprocessor option
only one tile--disregarding tile overlap values
Logging run-time parameters to file snaphu.log
Reading wrapped phase from file Phase_ifg_IW3_VV_25Aug2019_31Aug2019.snaphu.img
NaN or infinity found in input float data
Abort
done

Working on a subset inlands works good.

Things to try:

• Mask out no elevation data
• ?

After further checking, what seems to be the problem is the export step in the pipeline.

It creates weird artifacts on water areas that then result in errors during unwrapping:

The errors are gone using Snaphu Export in SNAP-6, which I have installed locally.

And then unwrapping works:

I found this thread on the STEP forum that might be related, but I am not sure as if this is the case.

My problem is I cannot really test the Export in SNAP 8 Desktop since I don't have it locally.
@bro076 I think you have SNAP-8 desktop, could you give it a try? I added a subset of the output of pipeline II here.
@ZahraDabiri you have SNAP-7 right? Would you also mind testing?

Thank you both!

good stuff! Yes I have snap 8. I am going to another Oslo meeting for a few days now, but I will try it get it running tonight or tomorrow. Can snap 8 not be installed in the docker?

[loreabad6]

Yes but only command line for now. I am trying to determine if this is a bug from snappy, from SNAP-8 or from any other source... That's why I want to run the process on Snap-8 Desktop

Hi Lorena,

I did the export, unwrapping, import in the SNAP v7; the results look good

. I saved it on the R drive:
"...\PFG330001_12_SliDEM\04_Work\WP3\DEM generation and Landslide volume estimaiton\test\Snphu" . "out_pipe_II_subset_Snaphu.dim" is the result of the import .

hope it helps :-)

Thanks Ani! Yes looks good so SNAP 6 and 7 work ok... let's see if SNAP-8 Desktop gives issues

Looks great! Sorry I haven't had time today yet to check Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

No worries! take your time :)

I ran it in python, and I get the result looks the same as when done in SNAP Desktop
