= NERC-ARF Help Desk = Welcome to the NERC-ARF Data Analysis Node help desk. We are here to help you with any queries you have regarding the processing of your NERC-ARF data. Please spend a few moments to check through these pages to find the answer to your query. If you cannot find the answers you are looking for then please [wiki:AboutUs#ContactUs contact us]. == Frequently Asked Questions == We host a page of [wiki:FAQ Frequently Asked Questions] which we try to keep up to date. If you haven't been able to find a solution to your problem so far then this is a good place to check next. == Information about data processing prior to delivery == For information on what happens to the data prior to delivery please check this page: * [wiki:ProcessingAtDAN#ProcessingandQualityControl Data processing procedures] For information on '''sensors''' and their specifications please see the [wiki:SensorInformation sensors] page. == Information about data processing after delivery == For information on using NERC-ARF-DAN software or how to get the best from your data please check these pages. For information on using NERC-ARF software please also see the tutorials section: * '''Hyperspectral processing''' * [wiki:Processing/aplquickstart Getting started guide] to using APL for hyperspectral processing. * [wiki:Processing/AplUserGuide APL processing level 1 to level 3 guide] * [wiki:Processing/GDALVRTMosaic Creating a mosaic from level 3 data] * [wiki:Help/UsingAzgcorr Basic information for using azgcorr to process level 1 to level 3] (for older data) * '''LiDAR processing''' * [https://github.com/pmlrsg/arsf_dem_scripts/blob/master/doc/source/tutorial_lidar.md Creating a DEM from LiDAR] Using ARSF DEM scripts ([https://github.com/pmlrsg/arsf_dem_scripts/archive/master.zip download scripts]) * [wiki:Processing/LidarNoisyPoints Remove noisy points] from delivered LiDAR point cloud files * [wiki:Help/Fullwaveform Processing full waveform data] * [wiki:Processing/LiDARIntensity Information on LiDAR intensity data] == Tutorials == NERC-ARF-DAN are in the process of creating some tutorials, with downloadable data, to help users get to know the various software we provide. This is a good place to start if you have no experience with the processing software. * [wiki:Downloads/Tutorials Tutorials] == Reports == Reports written by NERC-ARF-DAN on various instrumentation and processing issues can be found [wiki:Reports here]. == Workshop == We hold an annual workshop for users of NERC-ARF data, this is normally held at PML in March with the option to join remotely. For more information about the next course or notes from previous courses please [wiki:AboutUs#ContactUs contact us]. == Other useful information == * [wiki:Downloads Looking for software downloads?] * [wiki:Processing/PixelSize Choosing an appropriate hyperspectral pixel size from mapped data] * [wiki:Help/DEM_scripts Creating a DEM for hyperspectral processing] * [wiki:Help/LeicaLidarDems Creating a DEM from LiDAR point cloud] * ATM and CASI * [wiki:Processing/BrightnessTemperature Converting ATM band 11 to (brightness) temperature] * [wiki:Processing/Wavelengths Finding out what the wavelengths and bandwidth are] (for a specific flight) * [wiki:InHouseScripts In-house produced scripts and software which may be useful for end users] * [wiki:Links Links to external software and tutorials]
