Credits
This software was developed within the project SAR4Infra (2020-2024) with funds of the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. The project consortium consists of the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation at Leibniz University Hannover, FERN.Lab (innovation and technology transfer lab of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam), Landesamt fuer Vermessung und Geoinformation Schleswig-Holstein, and Landesbetrieb Strassenbau und Verkehr Schleswig-Holstein. The scientific and methodological development was carried out by Andreas Piter (piter@ipi.uni-hannover.de), supervised by Mahmud H. Haghighi (mahmud@ipi.uni-hannover.de) and Mahdi Motagh (motagh@gfz-potsdam.de). The FERN.Lab (fernlab@gfz-potsdam.de) contributed to the development, documentation, continuous integration, and testing of the package.
