StaMPS-PyRefactor v0.10

StaMPS-PyRefactor v0.10 is the first public development release of the Python refactor of the StaMPS PS-InSAR workflow.

Highlights

• Python implementation of the PS-InSAR processing chain from Step 1 through Step 8.
• Direct preprocessing of ISCE2 SLC stack outputs with prep_isce.py.
• Python-native HDF5 intermediate products and JSON parameter files.
• SNAPHU integration for phase unwrapping.
• Improved Step 6 grid construction, Goldstein filtering, look-angle error estimation, and 3D_FULL unwrapping behavior.
• Deramped velocity and displacement time-series export.
• GeoPackage output by default, with Shapefile output retained as an option.
• Windows-focused validation with cross-platform Python code paths.

Validation

• The full PS-InSAR chain has been run through Step 8 on real ISCE2 SLC stack data.
• ISCE2 metadata bootstrap and candidate preparation have been validated without requiring MATLAB parameter files.
• Synthetic regression checks cover small-baseline preparation and core Step 6 grid/unwrapping behavior.

Known limitations

• The Small Baseline workflow is not yet fully validated end to end.
• TRAIN/tropospheric correction integrations are not ported end to end.
• Numerical equivalence with every MATLAB StaMPS branch and optional mode is still being validated.
• The project is not yet packaged as an installable Python distribution.

This project is an independent GPL-3.0 refactor and is not the official StaMPS distribution.
