last Friday Phil Plait over on " Bad Astronomy "
posted a cool image http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2...dune_field.html it took the weekend to process all 18 HiRISE red ccd images into one mapped image ( 1.3 gig ) then run a SFS on it , well a crop but still 8192x8192 image reduced size ( 2048x2048 mesh ) test renders in Blender |

Really nice renders Sean! With this I can imagine rover visits to each of these places. Would be interesting to see where you are in Noctis Labyrinthus relative to the context say from some Viking images that I recall.

Indeed glad you are faithful to the terrain - and besides vertical exaggeration wouldn't be needed anyway!
One thing that might be worth a try sometime is the inclusion of scattering by atmospheric dust, depending on how much in the way of the optical parameters can be included in the rendering software. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Uzobi Vallis It's Uzboi - I know that place. I'm used to looking at a lot of HiRISE images, and with that perspective, the first one in colour looks spectacular (and they are all quite informative - something to keep in the back of my mind the next time I look at related 2D images). -------------------- |

Hale Crater with Astronaut
Here is the video with an Astronaut scaled to the model... Click thru to check it out. As usual...no vertical exaggeration. Still lots to improve on... atmosphere, colour, animation etc. DTM suggestions welcome. -------------------- |

Thanks Sean for really advancing things on how we can view Mars. As for DTM suggestions one can consider a helicopter style view following the tracks of Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity?
Another one (unless you've done this) would be in Valles Marineris, harking back to a passage from Cosmos where Carl Sagan narrates a fly through animation poetically saying "...careening through the corridors of the Valley of the Mariners" -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

More Mounds... these are rendered at full available fidelity in the model and texture to determine qualitative difference compared to the previous 'optimized' versions.

So it turns out that this area is Domoni crater and the nice folk at PIRL let me know that HiRISE had full coverage so I was able to extend the scene in 3D to provide the following images...

Layers.... These are great Sean, have subscribed to email alerts this sub-forum so I dont miss any Fingers crossed there is enough data that will enable you to create a few of Gale crater. If I could be permitted to throw an idea your way, maybe one of the entire path from landing from an elevated camera position, with tags on the ground for the rovers position every 50 sols or so? (just thinking out loud) Probably a big ask |

Amazing how much detail there is in all of these DTMs that Sean is bringing to life. I'm curious about what the brighter material is near some of the higher terrain. Nice to see an atmosphere showing up in the background. I wonder if future plans might also consider the effects of the atmosphere between the observer and the terrain?

Interesting question Sean. For a ballpark answer I would suggest that we can estimate an overall optical depth tau (~0.5) and dust scale height of 11km. This means the extinction coefficient at elevations near the ground would be 0.5/11km or 4.55 * 10^-5 m^-1 (tapering off exponentially as we go upward). From this both the inscatter and outscatter can be determined in the path between the observer and point on the terrain.
The impact might be subtle in the foreground, though becoming more noticeable for distant features in the background when looking near the sun. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Thank you, quite addictive making them! The data is amazing...these renders are optimized to run on my machine so there is room to squeeze a little more detail out. There are lots of 'improvements' on the way...sky, colour and hopefully some kind of contextual compositional solution, if I can get my head around the myriad sources!

There are lots of 'improvements' on the way...sky, colour and hopefully some kind of contextual compositional solution, if I can get my head around the myriad sources! I understand the addiction. Years back when I was knee deep in the Microsoft Flight Simulator I found that users could add photorealistic scenery to areas and found DEM files from NASA and aerial photography shots from my county and combined them together to make the Phoenix area I was always flying over more realistic. The results were stunning. Suddenly the mountains and riverbeds looked exactly like reality and I began creating 3d buildings and objects, taking photos of their exteriors and wrapping them over the vertices. I spent months adding more and more. It eventually ended up a side business as people convinced me others would buy my work. It never was about the profit though. Was about the creativity it unleashed. A major addiction when it all comes together. Your work is wonderful. |

Thanks for the story Art and given that your compliment means a lot!
I suppose it has something to do with making these inaccessible places tangible in some way, there is a visceral thrill when the elevation data & satellite imagery come together. Suddenly it is a place. Here is a best quality available video of RGB pass from the Mounds in Ganges Chasma... -------------------- |

Now able to render at full available texture resolution!
A small breakthrough which might only result in a tiny perceptible qualitative improvement given compromises on elevation data... ...shots closer to models would hold up better though. -------------------- |

Here is a link to another Gigapan 450 megapixel extravaganza...
Mount Sharp Northwest Flank And the Flickr version... I was quite aggressive culling the DTM borders to conform to the chosen viewing angle. Lots of work in Photoshop to balance out the jigsaw of exposures. Each of the 5 DTM's were rendered separately, the foreground render then acted as a guide for conforming the rest to the base Mt Sharp render which is visible in the background crater rim and the upper left of the image. A depth pass was used to introduce atmosphere and soften transitions. An amazing dataset! -------------------- |

Thanks I've had some luck studying these with the route maps and another site where you can zoom into HIRISE (though it is offset a bit): http://curiosityrover.com/rovermap1.html I can surmise for Curiosity that it will enter soon at the right edge of Sean's neat Hematite Ridge rendering, about 40-45% of the way between top and bottom. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

You mean Curi, surely?
In the most recent Gigapan you can see Murray Buttes at the bottom center right of the image, tracing the route up toward the natural break in the dune field to the left of Ireson hill you can almost discern a path leading up to Hematite Ridge. In time I will make a version with the notional route. Any chance you point out where's Oppy or where she'll enter the scene? Thanks In the first Gigapan rendering, Hematite Ridge, Curi's current position near Ireson Hill is just above the center stage right. I've had some luck studying these with the route maps and another site where you can zoom into HIRISE (though it is offset a bit): http://curiosityrover.com/rovermap1.html

The Gale Crater movie is perhaps the most awesome rendering of planetary image data I've seen. Thank you! It really brought the places Curiosity is exploring to life, which the overhead images don't.
If you ever have the time and inclination, it would be fascinating if the movie could retrace the Rover's journey. -------------------- |

Thanks vjkane, although to be fair there have been awesome animations using the same data over on Youtube since 2010.
I do have a nice 4k animation cooking at the moment but its going to take a while before it is ready. In the meantime here is another take on the HiRISE coverage of Mt Sharp... and the 450 megapixel Gigapan version... Mount Sharp Northwest Flank 2 -------------------- |

I grabbed a crop of Sean's "Mount Sharp Northwest Flank" (from Gigapan) and roughly marked Curiosity's route up to sol 1589 (green), it's current position (yellow star) and the latest "notional route" from JPL (red). Hopefully it will be helpful. Sean's work has added another dimension to my awe for this mission.

Thanks Fernando. The wide field view of Curi's journey is a sight to behold!
So my plan is to image the entire mission zone along with the route so far & notional route, in as big an image as Gigapan will host, I'm not sure what their upper limit is. I think Photoshop will only go to 65k pixels square. The trick will be to get a good angle without making the quilt-work of DTM's too obvious against the lores mesh of Gale Crater. -------------------- |

Here is a 4k video covering a 4 DTM swathe of Mt Sharp Each DTM was rendered separately then combined in After Effects to blend variable exposures. -------------------- |

THANK YOU for the "SPIRIT ZOOM". It really gave me context of the area, and how fortunate we were to have those interesting hills nearby to make the mission great!

That's nice Sean - it's remarkable how regular the tilted layers are. Have you done anything around the North Polar layering, similar to these examples?

Thanks Steve.
Thanks for the links & suggestions, I really appreciate the feedback. I have those polar layers in the queue... I will move them up! The mesas are also on the to-do list but I want to put them in context so its a little more work. I have updated the Arabia Terra post with the source link.

Interesting to see such a deep bowl shaped crater at about 0:58 time in the Ladon Valles video. Looks to be consistent with the higher depth/diameter ratios for small craters mentioned in this online reference, possibly around 0.3? Intricate terrain overall.
Nice music with Domoni too. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
