QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Aug 11 2005, 12:21 PM) Thanks for that, it makes visualisation of the relationship between the scales of the MOC images and the vertical projections really clear. Unification of different scale imagery like this is great. I now know what the etched terrain is like and can mentally colourise the MOC image and visualise the scale of the rover in the satalite imagery far better than i could yesterday. I suppose someone at JPL is putting together contiguous vertical projections of all the ground covered. I have seen the little tiny squres of this on done on the route maps but not good big images like Dilo's. It does suggest an awesome project to combine all the suitable images into a vertical projection of the route covered. It would be a heck of a magic carpet ride. Dilo you've probably answerd this already but what is the virtual hight you are projecting the images from and does it differ from nav to pancam?. Doug feel free to move this post to the imagery query section if neccessary. |

Here the updated vertical projections mosaic:
Paxdan, your idea about a superzoom from entire Mars to a MI rock detail is EXACTLY the same idea that hit me about a month ago... I didn't find time to realize it (up to now), but for sure would be a great animation, especially if integrated with a 3D model of the rover... About projections, I start from stitched, re-scaled images and I project them from a height of 1.5m (the supposed height of Navigation and Panoramic Cameras) above an absolutely flat soil. Projection images are ortographic ones (from top, without perspective) with a scale of 10cm/pixel... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Cheers for the maps Dilo. It's great to know other people think about the same stuff, and thanks for the projection info.
deglr6328, ha ha so well spotted. funny how these things can stray back on topic i wonder if it is also mars on the cover of scientific america below. |

This is an example of what can be done MGS+route map in a bird's view...

First thing I thought after seeing dilo's picture was that Victoria is hidden behind the rise associated with Terra Nova. Some of the latest images seem to show the "unveiling" of a distant plain. e.g., the left side of the horizon in this one:
