Busy preparing a new Outreach talk here, and have been trying to find some images to illustrate the "power" of HiRISE for a non-technical audience. Playing about with - sorry, carefully looking at the images on - the addictive Mars Global Data site I found a cute landslide on Xanthe Terra that does the trick nicely. Using the IAS Viewer you can zoom in on the boulders carried down the slope by the landslide and even see cracks and splits in them... unbelievable...!
Anyone else got any fave examples? -------------------- |

In the spirit of HiRISE releasing some DTMs, I thought I'd put up a couple of shots of my recent attempts at making some of these monsters.
I made it using exactly the same method (hopefully!) as the USGS, so switching between ISIS and SocetSet. It was one of the first I made, so it's got some striping in the overlaid orthoimage, but not in the underlying DTM. The recent hiequal command in ISIS has got rid of that striping now, but I don't have images of that attempt with me at the moment. Whole DTM: Close-up: I thought I'd put them up here seeing as there's some chat over in the img2png thread. I've got to say that even though I use them everyday in my job, I still have to pick my jaw off the floor on a regular basis - awesome camera! Pete ps Doug - think you could work some of your movie magic with this? |

Great work, pgrindrod ! the possibilities with those ultra-large, ultra-high precision data sets given to us by HiRISE are endless ... It will take years and decades to fully realize the potential buried within this ocean of data QUOTE (machi) So much to do and so little time. smile.gif How true ... |
