Dear Valentijn,

Dear support,
In the latest version (2.9) of the beam-meris-icol processor I have found the following issues:
1- I cannot invoke the command-line processor help using:
${BEAM-INSTALL-DIR}/bin/gpt -h icol.ThematicMapper
Any ideas?
I cannot reproduce this, gpt -h icol.ThematicMapper works fine here in various enviromnents. Does your 'gpt -h' work for other processors?
2- The openclConvolutionCheckBox is (by design) disabled from the user (greyed out) in this release.
Can I somehow still turn this boolean to ‘true’ using some configuration (xml) file? Is it still accessible from the command-line as parameter -PopenclConvolution=boolean?
In principle you can, but you will likely get error messages. The ICOL processing with OpenCL technology is strongly dependent on the hardware and configuration of the particular computer, this is why it is meant to be an experimental option. It is impossible for us to remotely give individual support on this for the whole community of ICOL users. We hope for your understanding.
3- As—per the release notes, this ICOL version uses an improved land-water database which is based on SRTM data. I have noticed the extension has a new dependency (beam-watermask-1.2) also, which I guess provides this improved land-water database. Can you indicate which of the following files is used by ICOL (I guess GC_water_mask.zip)?
file://localhost/Users/venus/Downloads/beam-watermask-1.2/auxdata/images/50m.zip
file://localhost/Users/venus/Downloads/beam-watermask-1.2/auxdata/images/150m.zip
file://localhost/Users/venus/Downloads/beam-watermask-1.2/auxdata/images/GC_water_mask.zip
file://localhost/Users/venus/Downloads/beam-watermask-1.2/auxdata/images/MODIS_north_water_mask.zip
file://localhost/Users/venus/Downloads/beam-watermask-1.2/auxdata/images/MODIS_south_water_mask.zip
I forward to you the answer of my colleague who did the implementation of this land-water database:
"You are right, the dependency to 'beam-watermask-1.2' provides the improved land-water database. In fact, all of the files you mention are used in ICOL apart from the MODIS_north and MODIS_south; the '50m.zip' contains the high-resolution database for regions between latitude 60°S and 60°N, the '150m.zip' contains the low-resolution database for the same regions, and the 'GC_water_mask.zip' contains the water mask used for regions north of 60° N. Below 60° S, there is no database yet."
