Summary of attempt to process ICEYE with ISCE (stripmapApp.py)

[falkamelung]

According to this ISCE2 issue isce-framework/isce2#515 it is be possible to process using stripmapApp.py.

I first got stripmapApp.py to work, which uses Alos. It required some minor modifications (stripmapApp_Alos.ipynb is commited to notebooks_famelung; the test data are next to $TESTDATA_ISCE on work2 on stampede.

Then I tried to get it to work with TSX using Miami data ($SAMPLESDIR/MiamitestTsx*template). Data preparation is in stripmapApp_TSX.ipynb. The plan was if TSX works, to replace data with ICEEYE

Unfortunately I did not get it to work. I got this error:

Possible causes are the definition in the xml file of such attribute that is no longer defined
in the object "<class 'isceobj.Sensor.TerraSARX.TerraSARX'>" or a spelling error

For ALOS this field is not in the *xml files, so II removed all fields containing isce_version from all *xml files but the issue persisted.

Then I gave up.
