What kind of image processing software would be good for a newbie interested in starting to manipulate basic images (JPEG, TIFF, PPG)?
Is there a big difference between Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended? What do y'all recommend? (And how can I get this cheap? Man, this stuff looks expensive!) Any advice would be helpful, but I am so NOT an IT guy: I still move my lips when I try to read software manuals. (I usually just click the default option on installation windows and jsut hope everything works OK.) -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

QUOTE What I'm really trying to figure out is if and where map-projected lat/long information is maintained. Thanks! ? in the isis cub file it is in the header and from spiceinit the time is given in the header and the location is imported from the spice kernel with the time and location the lat/long for every pixel can be calculated now some cub files like a map projected file like this example CODE GROUP = ISIS_INGESTION PDS2ISIS_VERSION = "2003-05-01" PDS2ISIS_TRANSLATION_TABLE = "/usgs/isisd/galdata/ssi_pds2isis_translation.def.1" END_GROUP = ISIS_INGESTION GROUP = ISIS_MOSAIC SPACECRAFT_NAME = (GALILEO_1,GALILEO_1,GALILEO_1,GALILEO_1) INSTRUMENT_ID = ("SSI","SSI","SSI","SSI") PRODUCT_ID = ("C9I0005","G2I0073","E6I0060","21I0170") IMAGE_NUMBER = ("0401740700","0359986578","0383758500","0506406839") END_GROUP = ISIS_MOSAIC GROUP = IMAGE_MAP_PROJECTION A_AXIS_RADIUS = 1821.46 B_AXIS_RADIUS = 1821.46 C_AXIS_RADIUS = 1821.46 POSITIVE_LONGITUDE_DIRECTION = "WEST" KEYWORD_LATITUDE_TYPE = "PLANETOCENTRIC" LONGITUDE_SYSTEM = 180 MINIMUM_LATITUDE = -90.0 MAXIMUM_LATITUDE = 90.0 WESTERNMOST_LONGITUDE = 180.0 EASTERNMOST_LONGITUDE = -180.0 MAP_RESOLUTION = 31.7904741933759 MAP_SCALE = 1.0 MAP_PROJECTION_TYPE = "SIMPLE_CYLINDRICAL" CENTER_LONGITUDE = 0.0 PROJECTION_LATITUDE_TYPE = "PLANETOGRAPHIC" LINE_PROJECTION_OFFSET = -2861.5 SAMPLE_PROJECTION_OFFSET = -5722.5 END_GROUP = IMAGE_MAP_PROJECTION END_OBJECT = QUBE END is set in the "IMAGE_MAP_PROJECTION" group or for this cub of dione "N1507741140_2.cub"( after spiceinit and NOT map projected ) it is in the "Group = Instrument "( the time) &"Group = Kernels " part of the header & in the body rotation CODE Group = Instrument SpacecraftName = Cassini-Huygens InstrumentId = ISSNA TargetName = Dione StartTime = 2005-284T16:30:24.493 StopTime = 2005-284T16:30:24.553 ExposureDuration = 60.0 <Milliseconds> AntibloomingStateFlag = On ------------------------------------and in the kernel ------------------------------------------------ Group = Kernels NaifFrameCode = -82360 LeapSecond = $base/kernels/lsk/naif0009.tls TargetAttitudeShape = ($base/kernels/pck/pck00009.tpc, $cassini/kernels/pck/cpck15Nov2005.tpc) TargetPosition = (Table, $base/kernels/spk/de405.bsp) InstrumentPointing = (Table, $cassini/kernels/ck/05282_05287ra.bc, $cassini/kernels/fk/cas_v40.tf) Instrument = Null SpacecraftClock = $cassini/kernels/sclk/cas00139.tsc InstrumentPosition = (Table, $cassini/kernels/spk/051114R_SCPSE_05275_05293.bsp) InstrumentAddendum = $cassini/kernels/iak/IssNAAddendum004.ti ShapeModel = Null InstrumentPositionQuality = Reconstructed InstrumentPointingQuality = Reconstructed CameraVersion = 1 End_Group End_Object ---------------- and the body rotation------------------------- Object = Table Name = BodyRotation StartByte = 4284569 Bytes = 40 Records = 1 ByteOrder = Lsb Description = "Created by spiceinit" Kernels = ($base/kernels/spk/de405.bsp, $base/kernels/pck/pck00009.tpc, $cassini/kernels/pck/cpck15Nov2005.tpc) SolarLongitude = 339.77037710307 so if it is not map projected then it is calculated on the fly qview does that when you view an image |

Thanks John! That's what I was unsure of. If this data was part of the .cub once the file was imported to IDL or if the .cub file just had pixel value data.

I was playing around with one of Oppy's deck pictures... I cant wait to see a good mosaic..
I just don't have a mosaic tool that would do these images justice... I could do this with the right tool! **** what's your favorite mosaic tool for MER images ? **** In this test image, I tried to bring out the terrain below the solar wings and just ended up amplifying the JPEG artifacts on the solar cells (darn down sampled image!) I was going to grab the below wing terrain and paste it onto a regular L456 ... But I really should try a mosaic... -------------------- CLA CLL

ISIS3 or for a normal mosaic Nip2

You could also use Hugin for a normal mosaic. http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ In the past (3 years ago), I had bad experiences with the software. Now-a-days it's actually pretty awesome and can stitch things together automatically. You can also swap out the automatic tie point software with whatever you like. |
