This readme file pertains to the distribution of doris_4.02.tar.gz.
Additional information on installing Doris
and the contents of the archive is available in an annex of the
user's manual.
General information on the Doris software can be found in the
general introduction. Conditions of use Installation
Introduction
The Doris software has been developed at a HP-UX 9000 platform.
It is however intented to be platform independent (portable).
We encourage you to compile the Doris software on other platforms
with a standard C++ compiler.
Current versions of the Doris software can be easily
installed on Linux platforms.
If available, the Lapack library can be used.
We only use Cholesky factorization routines.
If it is not available,
internal routines routines can be used,
which can be selected by approriate defines while compiling.
It is adviced to use the Lapack library however.
We also use the HP Veclib library
for FFT's and fast matrix multiplications.
For these functions we have also written internal routines,
and the Veclib library is thus also
not required to run the Doris software.
However, using the Veclib library will speed up the computations,
and we advice to use it.
The FFT we programmed is probably slower than the library function.
We tested the precision and it seems to function correctly.
Usage of a FFT in Doris is (strictly) only required for the
harmonic interpolation (oversampling)
in the fine co-registration step.
(This is a big difference with SAR processing
where FFT's play an important role.)
In other steps, e.g., for the computation of correlation,
we have implemented routines that perform the same computations
in the space domain.
In the Makefile you can exclude these libraries
by commenting define statements DEF4 and DEF5.
Conditions of use
The conditions of use are as follows.
Doris is a scientific-purpose software and cannot be commercialized,
nor can parts or products of it be commercialized.
Parties interested in using Doris or its products
for any commercial purposes are requested to
contact Dr. Ramon Hanssen of DEOS (r.f.hanssen@tudelft.nl)
Our version of the software is the only official one.
Please do not distribute the Doris software to third parties,
instead refer to the Doris home page.
This in order to guarantee uniformity in the distribution of updates
and information.
Delft University of Technology is not responsible for any damage
caused by errors in the software or the documentation.
Users are very welcome to extend the capabilities of the Doris software by
implementing new algorithms or improving the existing ones.
It is intended that if new software is developed based on Doris,
that this also is made available for free to the other users (through us).
We would appreciate if any addition or modification of the software
would be announced first to us,
so that it can be included in the official (next) version of the software.
Publications that contain results produced by the Doris software should contain
an acknowledgment.

available Doris software package developed by the Delft
