ADORE - Automated DORIS Environment

Automated DORIS Environment (ADORE) is a collection of BASH scripts to help scientists use TU-Delft's DORIS. I've been developing it for almost a year now, and I find it quite useful for generating interferograms with DORIS.

ADORE essentially creates a sub-shell environment in which all DORIS variables are defined using default values, and DORIS processing steps can be run by typing the process names. ADORE tries to save time spent for interferogram processing, without being a black-box. Users are still able to change every single parameter DORIS has to offer, without having to write input files manually.

ADORE also comes with several scripts to help visualize the DORIS results, and generate SRTM DEMs. ADORE has export functionality to allow users to convert DORIS results to ArcGIS and Envi formats. A step-by-step tutorial for generating a single interferogram is published recently using the ESA dataset for L'Aquila earthquake.

ADORE is still an alpha quality software, therefore the users should be ready for finding some bugs and quirkiness  while running it. It is developed for the members and visitors of the Geodesy Lab of University of Miami. It has a very small user base and only one developer. I'm looking for volunteers to help develop ADORE further. If you find bugs please report them using Google Code's issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/adore-doris/issues/list

Further information about installing ADORE and ADORE commands can be found at the wiki page: http://code.google.com/p/adore-doris/w/list
