Strip Align Error: Time Overlap in Swaths

📌Problem: 

If you encounter the following error while running Strip Align (Legacy) :

ERROR: at least 2 swaths (1 and 2) in group 1 have time overlap, time-dependent corrections cannot be computed

🔍 Root Cause

This error occurs when two or more swaths in the same group have overlapping time intervals. Strip Align cannot apply time-dependent corrections when it cannot distinguish between swaths based on time.

✅ Probable Resolutions

1. Separate overlapping flight lines: Inspect your flight line layer to ensure no duplicate timestamps across flight lines exist within a single cycle so that each swath is in its own unique time stamps (i.e. each trajectory point can only belong to only a single flight line).
2. Verify flight lines: Use the Feature Analyst to visually inspect flight line start/end times by Cycle before running alignment.
