Galileo Imagery, I couldn't find a topic not specific to one moon.... Options

Here is a combination of all of Galileo's global color views of the Galileans. I have left out the large Europa mosaic because much of its color data is pulled from other orbits. I have also left out colorized views. Due to inconsistent filter selection, there some variation between images. I posted the Europa set in another thread, but I figured I would add the views of Ganymede and Callisto.

As Jason Perry pointed out a couple months back over at the Gish Bar Times, we have recently passed the tenth anniversary of Galileo's I24 flyby, that probe's first close-up look at Io. However, many of the images collected during the flyby had at least one of two anomalies, which the team later characterized here. They were able to create an algorithm to correct the first and simpler of the two anomalies, but were unable to correct the second anomaly. Thus, about a dozen close-in images of Io have been lost. I made an initial attempt at correcting the second anomaly for the example image used in the characterization document, but, although it makes for an interesting exercise in image processing, it's completely useless in its current form for anything resembling scientific analysis...

attempted restoration:

The images themselves are here, with those containing an anomaly in the "garbled" directory and corrected versions of those with just the first anomaly in the "repaired" directory.

Impressive!

By the way, I don't think I ever have seen the documentation for the second anomaly. Very interesting!
