ACOLITE 20170619.0

Post by quinten »

ACOLITE version 20170619.0 was publicly released on 2017-06-20.

ACOLITE now can combine multiple Sentinel-2 tiles to a single output file, and outputs RGB composites in GeoTIFF format.

Download the latest version here. Further details in the processing settings pdf.

Updates since 20170113.0:
  • - Support for the stitching of multiple Sentinel-2 granules provided by ESA and USGS as separate SAFE files. (Only in batch mode.)
    - Output of RGB GeoTIFF files, including pan sharpened GeoTIFFs
    - Added user choice of NIR/SWIR or SWIR/SWIR band combination.
    - Added a percentile option for estimating a fixed aerosol reflectance for the (sub)scene. (Recommended for smaller regions of interest.) This option will remove the noise originating from the SWIR bands in the end products.
