Has anyone played around with the HiRISE PDS release images yet? More specifically, color images? I have no time to do anything.

Not a CTX image Mike, sorry, but I did have a lot of fun in the library this morning, taking advantage of their broadband connection to have a leisurely stroll around the MRO galleries... made a few crops and colourisations...
Was looking forward to using the IAS viewer but it wouldn't connect... grrr... oh well, next time... -------------------- |

Good work, Stu ! I especially like the "mesa top" mountain at the bottom of the image. do you have a link to the original PSP image ID ? |

I especially like the "mesa top" mountain at the bottom of the image. It's a neat image, but like most of the MRO data, to the layman at least it's just an incremental improvement over MOC stuff like http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/E01_E0...2002/meridiani/ which I suspect is why it's hard to come up with an MRO image that really seems revolutionary. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.

Here's me thinking that 2 gigapixels in a single swath was a revolution in itself. I'd argue that a considerably smaller swath than HiRISE's at the same resolution would have produced much the same science. It's hard to quantify the benefits of a wider FOV, especially with the 6-meter context provided by CTX. That said, to be fair CTX is for all intents and purposes mostly an incremental improvement on MOC. The images are 10x wider and of comparable resolution to most MOC images, the buffer is much larger, and the SNR is a few times better, so we cover a lot more ground at better quality on average than MOC did, but I don't think this difference is perceptible to most people. I think the jury is still out on what the major scientific results of MRO will be. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
