CEOS Format Reading Software

Resource Overview

CEOS Format Reading Software - This MATLAB function reads RSAT-1 RAW data from CD in CEOS format, featuring data buffer management and validation checks. Called by extract_data.m as the primary data extraction handler.

Detailed Documentation

The CEOS format reading software is a specialized tool designed to read and process RSAT-1 RAW data from CDs using the CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) standard. The software implements efficient data parsing algorithms with built-in error handling to manage large datasets quickly while maintaining data integrity. It employs buffer management techniques for optimal memory usage during file operations. The main function, called by extract_data.m, provides a structured interface that handles file I/O operations, header parsing, and data validation checks. Researchers can utilize this software to extract and analyze critical information from RSAT-1 RAW files, enabling advanced scientific studies through proper data decoding and format conversion capabilities. The implementation includes support for both big-endian and little-endian byte ordering to ensure cross-platform compatibility.
