KITE

Introduction

This framework is streamlining InSAR displacement processing routines for earthquake inversion through pyrocko and Grond.

Kite features simple and efficient handling of displacement data:

Import InSAR displacement data from GAMMA, ISCE, GMTSAR, ROI_PAC and Matlab
Efficient quadtree implementation
Covariance estimation from noise
Interactive GUI

Installation and Requirement

Requires libraries

PySide with OpenGL support (Qt4)
pyQtGraph
NumPy

OpenMP

Installation on Debian based distributions through apt

sudo apt-get install python-pyside python-pyside.qtcore python-pyside.qtopengl\
  python-yaml python-scipy python-numpy libomp-dev

Native installation

git clone https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph.git
cd pyqtgraph; sudo python setup.py install

Short Example

from kite import Scene

# Import Matlab container to kite
scene = Scene.import_file('dataset.mat')
scene.spool()  # start the GUI for data inspection and Quadtree parametrisation

# Inspection of covariance parameters
scene.quadtree.covariance.plot()
