Goals
- The following Java interfaces and classes currently operate on 32-bit floats: GeoCoding, GeoPos, PixelPos. Derived classes such as TiePointGeoCoding also perform their computations using 32-bit floats, while others, e.g. PixelGeoCoding use 64-bit internally.
- Many hires applications require 64-bit precision both for internal computation and in the final delivery of results.

| 1 | Tie point interpolation | Part of the problem is caused by the unit (lat lon in degrees, slant range time in seconds) but this should probably stay as is. At high resolutions (< 1m), neighbouring pixels end up having the same value. Tie Point Grids and DEMs need to be interpolated to the resolution of the data product. Interpolators have already been made 64-bit. Now the resulting value needs to be saved as 64-bit.
