Software reuse file#

ECSS-E-ST-40C Rev.1 / ECSS-Q-ST-80C. This SRF records reused software and reused data, and states the originality of the reverse-chain Synthetic L0 reconstruction tool: it runs a Sentinel-2B L1B backwards through the exact inverse of the operational Synthetic L0->L1B radiometric chain to reconstruct L1A -> L0plus -> Synthetic L0, validated against the reference ESA L0 img.

Introduction#

The deliverable reuses only general-purpose, permissively-licensed libraries and public ESA/Copernicus calibration data. No mission-processor source code is reused or vendored. All algorithms are original implementations from public specifications.

Reused software#

No EOPF CPM, no geometry library, and no credentialed package is required for the referenceized path.

Reused data#

All reused data is public ESA/Copernicus reference data; only the data values are used (no code):

Originality statement#

The reverse-chain inverse radiometric chain (invert offset, relative-response/PRNU, dark, un-bin, SWIR re-stage, defective, crosstalk, on-board-eq; MTF-deconvolution OFF), the GIPP reader, the calibration sub-set and the L1A/L0plus/Synthetic L0 product assembly are original implementations written from the public Sentinel-2 L1 ATBD and the GIPP data layout. No external mission-processor source code is copied, vendored, imported or referenced by name in this deliverable. This satisfies REQ-QUAL-003 (originality), verified by inspection (source review + name grep) in the V&V report. The reverse chain’s own V&V uses only this project’s code: the L0plus codec round-trip (decode(L0plus)==L1A, bit-exact) and validation of the Synthetic L0 against the reference ESA L0 img (10/20 m bands <=~4 DN).
