Resolve creates two files: a baseline file and a Fico control file.
The baseline file is an initial estimate of the baseline between the two SAR images. This baseline is estimated from the state vectors in the image metadata.
The baseline file will be used when we run deramp on the interferogram phase file. This initial estimate, while a good initial estimate, is not good enough for DEM generation and will need to be refined.
The control file is used by Fico and the The control file contains the gross offset between the two images. This offset is estimated using the fftMatch program, which resolve calls.
Resolve is usually called by register_ccsd or register_sic, but can be run alone.
