There are now three of us (yourself, ugordan, and myself) who obtained similar results on demosaicing using very different approaches. UMSF: Providing headache relief for space image fans everywhere. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

From the Press conference - the animation they showed implied that MRO and Ody have quite a lot of overlap in their overpasses (i.e. there are times when they're both over the horizon at the same time). Can Curiosity relay different streams to each of them to maximise bandwidth?

... and they have now driven to a point where DAN can get data from one of the scours. There for a few sols, then head for Glenelg.

That's the rover-sized rock Mike Malin talked about. Incredible! |

Phenomenal.
We're in the right place with the right rover. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Sol 21 Navcam pan, in anaglyph. Classic version available on the link :
Also, that was a great press briefing, especially the part with the "badlands" and the rover-scalled-rock. -------------------- |

And nice at the briefing to see John Grotzinger talk about the large unconformity on Mt. Sharp (earlier mentioned in UMSF by Emily, and asked about by her at the press conference) and to compare it with the Grand Canyon.

Thanks, Ant, that stereo panorama looks great through shutter glasses, here is the .jps file if anyone else has a 3D display (assuming I have Ant's permission!).

From the Press conference - the animation they showed implied that MRO and Ody have quite a lot of overlap in their overpasses... It's pretty rare that they're both up at the same time, based on the NAIF data published. It's probably more important that they fill each other's gaps. MRO has an interesting pattern: So there's about a 6-day periodicity. ODY passes are a little less regular, but put them together & you get this for August to date: The graphs show the passes at night too. I think they've used some of those. -------------------- |

beautiful! it would seem that MAHLI doc at section 6.1 example picture of the Chinle Formation is now seeming quite prescient indeed given the scenery were already seeing! |

...nice at the briefing to see John Grotzinger talk about the large unconformity on Mt. Sharp ... I think we are seeing several significant unconformities in the stack and a number of minor ones. I was considering doing a stratigraphic sketch, but it is so difficult to see most of the mound clearly. I hope we don't have to wait too long for a pristine view. -------------------- ...Tom

In response to the last question about sunrise at Gale, I later thought a sunset picture with the silhouette of the rim against Sharp while the basin was dark might look cool. Given the low atmospheric pressure and subsequent low scattering, it might be pretty dramatic. And Curiosity should be able to take such a picture given where it's located.
