EarthView^� APP v3.1

Changes included in EV-APP (version 3.1)

• Updated Radarsat database files to include RADARSAT payload file #29.
• A problem was fixed with the Flexible Block Adaptive Quantizer (FBAQ) implementation which eliminated a major source of quantization noise that had been visible in low signal-to-noise scenes. This problem had made beam boundaries more evident under those conditions.
• A problem with stitching multiple ENVISAT scenes together has been fixed.
• A new ICE Look-Up Table (LUT) has been provided for ENVISAT.
• The default browser for Windows has been updated to be suitable for Windows XP.
• A problem with the pixel tool for ENVISAT Alternating Polarization (AP) Single Look Complex (SLC) data has been fixed.
