However, certain dependencies (e.g. GDAL) are more easily set up through `conda`. `dolphin` has the ability to unwrap interferograms using several options, which can be toggled using the `unwrap_method` configuration option: 1. [`snaphu-py`](https://github.com/isce-framework/snaphu-py), a lightweight Python bindings to [SNAPHU](https://web.stanford.edu/group/radar/softwareandlinks/sw/snaphu/). Available on both pip and conda. 2. [`isce3`](https://github.com/isce-framework/isce3)'s python bindings to SNAPHU, PHASS, or ICU 3. [`spurt`](https://github.com/isce-framework/spurt), a 3D unwrapper, implementing the Extended Minimum Cost Flow (ECMF) algorithm 4. [`tophu`](https://github.com/isce-framework/tophu), a multi-scale unwrapper designed to unwrap large interferograms in parallel tiles at multiple resolution. These may be installed via conda or (in the case of `snaphu-py`) pip. To install locally: 1. Download source code: git clone https://github.com/isce-framework/dolphin.git && cd dolphin 2. Install dependencies: mamba env create --file conda-env.yml or if you have an existing environment: mamba env update --name my-existing-env --file conda-env.yml 3. Install `dolphin` via pip: conda activate dolphin-env python -m pip install . Dolphin can also take advantage of CUDA-compatible GPUs for faster processing. [See the docs](https://dolphin-insar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gpu-setup) for installation instructions and configuration. ## Usage The main entry point for configuring and running workflows the `dolphin` command line tool: 1. `dolphin config`: create a workflow configuration file. 2. `dolphin run` : run the workflow using this file. Example usage: dolphin config --slc-files /path/to/slcs/*tif # OR: to make a coarser output 4x as quickly: # dolphin config --slc-files /path/to/slcs/*tif --strides 2 2 dolphin run dolphin_config.yaml The only required inputs for the workflow are the paths to the coregistered SLC files (in either geographic or radar coordinates). If the SLC files are spread over multiple files, you can either 1. use the `--slc-files` option with a bash glob pattern, (e.g. `dolphin config --slc-files merged/SLC/*/*.slc` would match the [ISCE2 stack processor output](https://github.com/isce-framework/isce2/tree/main/contrib/stack) ) 2. Store all input SLC files in a text file delimited by newlines (e.g. `my_slc_list.txt`), and give the name of this text file prefixed by the `@` character (e.g. `dolphin config --slc-files @my_slc_list.txt`) The full set of options is written to the configuration file; you can edit this file, or you can see which commonly tuned options by are changeable running `dolphin config --help`. ## Building and running via Docker `dolphin` can also be run using Docker. You can use the one built on [Github](https://github.com/isce-framework/dolphin/pkgs/container/dolphin), or build it locally using the script ./docker/build-docker-image.sh ## Citation If you use `dolphin` in your research, please cite: Staniewicz et al., (2024).
