Spatial subset and not use DEM for the coastal areas

[hanamthang]

Dear Colleges,

Could you please guide me the options in startmaja program to subset a small regions for quick processing. My computer is not strong enough to process entire scene of Sentinel - 2. I checked the options in startmaja but found no solutions.

In addition, can we turn off the functions of creating and using DEM during the process? Since my regions are the coastal areas, all the land will be masked after the atmospheric correction, therefore the DEM will not be necessary to me.

Recently, I processed a Sentinel - 2 scene but got the following error with DEM:

Thank you for all supports!

Dear Thang,

I will let @petket-5 or @jerome-colin answer for your issue with DEM generation (it looks as if your computer was not able to download the input DTMs), but regarding the first question, we don't have implemented yet the possibility to run MAJA on a subset of Sentinel-2 images. There is however another possibility, which is to use PEPS on demand processing facility for MAJA :

Dear Olivier,

Many thanks to your quick response. I successfully processed a Sentinel - 2 from L1C to L2A. It's quite costly using my computer (need 4 cores, 8 Gb RAM, and at least 50-60 Gb disk space free) but finally done.

In the meanwhile, I will try to process entire scene while waiting for the subset functions from MAJA.

Cheers,
Thang
