In the past we've had some good Viking images here. Soon - all too soon - we will not have Phoenix any more, but despair not! Now we can re-live Viking by playing with old images. They can be searched by sol at the PDS.
As an example, I've made a composite of the very last Surface Sampler activities at either Viking site. This is work done on Viking 2 sol 957 and imaged on sol 957 and 959. (someone can animate it if they like!) We see two separate trenching activities at the same place, and a soil dump (bottom) and a conical soil pile made by the second dump (middle). (more obvious in an animation, I just can't make one on this machine). Phil

Hello,
Thank you all, especially those that process and share their pictures ! Oliver, The Viking High-resolution panorama are magnificent !! The few Viking Lander high-resolution color images of good quality that I saw were also Olivier : VL1: visions-mars07-1280x1024.jpg visions-mars07-1440x900.jpg Goursac-Mars8.jpg visions-mars08-1280x1024.jpg visions-mars08-1440x900.jpg Goursac-Mars11.jpg pano_sunset.jpg evening2.jpg VL1_morning_evening.jpg VL2 : Goursac-Mars15.jpg Goursac-Mars13.jpg visions-mars09-1280x1024.jpg visions-mars09-1440x900.jpg There are also "old" cited in post # 61: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/p...rs.html#surface But quality is not perfect ... QUOTE (scalbers @ Nov 21 2009, 02:41 PM)  Here's another one from Ricardo Nunes who also worked with Ted Stryk's super-resolution images as mentioned in post #5 of this thread. So I tried (for testing) the assembly of the luminance of the panorama of Olivier (post # 41) and the color of the Scalbers image (Post # 61), it is not perfect for several reasons: - There is not color image with the arm in this position - Several holes and pebbles are moved between the two. - The sun is not at the same position. But in a small piece, This is not bad :
now I try to make a low-resolution color panorama which corresponds more to high-resolution panorama ... To be continued ... |
