- Same day: once the image file is ready on disk, one work day is enough for an experienced 4SM practitioner to obtain a reasonable result out of a 4-bands image.
- Longer: finishing can take a while, though, depending on
- the radiometric quality of the image
- system noise, banding, cross talk, bright target recovery
- oblique viewing
- the size and complexity of the scene
- clouds and shadows
- floating alien objects, like boats, seaweed mats, foam, etc
- wind conditions and breaking waves
- glints and adjacency effect
- heterogeous water types, and locally foul waters
