| SAR Preprocessing | OTB SAR cookbook | Dedicated to SAR processing and cover both processing and visualization capabilities offered by OTB. |
| Sarpy | SarPy is a basic Python library to read, write, and do simple processing of complex SAR data using the NGA SICD format (standards linked below). | |
| s1Tilling | In many cases, it is also interesting to use both SAR and optical data.S1Tiling allows to tranform Sentinel-1 data into ortho-rectified data resampled on the Sentinel-2 grid to promote joint use of both missions. |
For SAR data in NITF standard format, the use of specific tools is advised
