CEOS Driver doesn't support the .sard naming convention

[allanx13]

The CEOS driver (frmts/ceos2) does not support the following naming convention for RADARSAT-1 images:

.sard - SAR data file .sarl - SAR leader file .sart - SAR trailer file .vol - volume directory file .nvol - null volume directory file

Currently, if I run gdalinfo on the SAR data file of a product with this convention, it identifies the file as a "SAR_CEOS/CEOS SAR Image"; however, it displays only limited information about the product (the missing information is found in the other files).

If I rename the files to a supported convention (say, DAT_01.001, etc.), all of the information is found and reported.

If I rename the files to a supported convention

The linebreaks in the filenames didn't come up. I'll try again:

.sard - SAR data file

.sarl - SAR leader file

.sart - SAR trailer file

.vol - volume directory file

.nvol - null volume directory file

I have committed r13229 in trunk to add this naming combination. I would appreciate it if you could try with this change and see if it resolves the problem. For the record, it would also be nice to know where you got this dataset (receiving station, processor, etc) if it is convenient.

I've tested out the change to sar_ceosdataset.cpp and it's all working now. Thanks for the quick reply!

I asked around here (DRDC Ottawa) for more information about the naming convention, but nobody is certain where it comes from. The best guess anybody had was that it comes from the CDPF. I'm fairly certain that I've seen this convention at the Canadian Ice Service, but it's been a couple of years since I was there.

Great, thanks. Closing since all now seems well.
