3 3 3 3 ! Minimum number of IFGs for coadd ! Reference Dataset FEX_MINCOADD Text File ! ! Contains minimum number of IFGs needed to form a coadd ! group. Used by FEC, FSS, and FIC. ! ! Author: S. Alexander, Hughes STX, 12/3/91 ! ! Rationale: In order to facilitate the taking of a median if necessary, the ! minimum number of ifgs should be an odd number. We fear that 3 ! is too small because any statistical quantities generated from ! that number are likely not to be meaningful. Seven is ! uncomfortably large because our proliferation of operating ! states during the mission will probably cause there to be a ! significant number of pixels with fewer than 7 coaddable ifgs. ! Thus, we compromise on 5. ! Rich Isaacman, GSC, 12/3/91 ! Certified: Rick Shafer 1991 December 12 - Pass 2 ! S. Brodd, HSTX, 5/95, SER 12244: Changed from 5 to 3 for new pipeline.
