I decided to create a special thread for this topic. Previously information on IMG2PNG was scattered across various threads here.
I new version of IMG2PNG is now available. For those that don't know, this is a command line uitility that can convert various PDS formatted files to PNGs (8 or 16 bits per pixel depending on the input files). This utility should work for lots of different PDS files, e.g. MER, Pathfinder, Voyager, Galileo, Cassini, Stardust, various Mars orbiters, Mariner 9/10 (!), Viking Orbiter, Viking Lander, Magellan, Clementine, Messenger, New Horizons etc. The major new feature in the new version is the ability to convert FITS files. IMG2PNG can be downloaded by visiting http://www.mmedia.is/bjj/utils/img2png Any information on possible bugs welcome. |

Another data set, another IMG2PNG challenge
http://hirise-pds.lpl.arizona.edu/PDS/DTM/...SP_002686_1410/ I THING they're 32 bit IMG's - any chance of a tweak and recompile - IMG2PNG goes "Errm - excuse me, these are more than 16bit" and happily produces a 16 bit PNG anyway - which does have the image data in there, but it's stuck right down at the bottom of the histogram and stretching it to get some sensible displacement, I can see that it's got stair-stepping much like using 8 bit displacement maps. |

Another data set, another IMG2PNG challenge http://hirise-pds.lpl.arizona.edu/PDS/DTM/...SP_002686_1410/ I've written a utility program fitsfromimg32.exe, which converts 32 bits IMG files to FITS format. It seems to be doing a good job on these files. If anyone is interested, please send me a message, so that I can email the exe file or the C++ source files. |
