   Each GSDR image pixel is represented by a 8-bit unsigned integer.          
   In sinusoidal images, pixels lying outside the domain of the projection    
   are set to zero. In all images, pixels with unknown or unmeasured          
   values are also set to zero. The remaining values are related to           
   the slope by the following equation:
