I wrote a shell script that allows you to download all images from a given sol.:
http://paranoid.dechengst.nl/files/MSLget.sh There are two rm commands in the script to clean up the tempdir. If you're afraid my script screws up your system replace them with rm -i commands. If you want any features added please let me know and I'll see what I can do. EDIT1: Added leading zeros in the directory names for easy sorting after a request for it on IRC. EDIT2: I see a lot of people downloading the script. To be clear: This is a script for *NIX systems and won't run on a standard Windows box. To get it running under Windows you need to install a *NIX environment like Cygwin. Your other option would be to install something like Ubuntu in VirtualBox. EDIT3: As RoverDriver pointed out you need to have wget on your system to use this script. The script now handles this gracefully. -------------------- PDP, VAX and Alpha fanatic ; HP-Compaq is the Satan! ; Let us pray daily while facing Maynard! ; Life starts at 150 km/h ;

The AlgorimancerPG (APG) rangefinder utility is updated for Curiosity,
http://clarkandersen.com/RangeFinder.htm I think I have the installer problem fixed, but don't happen to have another computer to test it on, so if someone would like to download/install/test it on a stereo pair of MSL navcam images, it would be appreciated. The update only adds capability to do distances/photogrammetry with MSL's navigation camera images, and lacks any information about orientation since that database has not been made available as yet. I'm not too worked-up about adding support for the higher resolution Mastcam images, as it would take a lot of programming effort and I'm not clear on what real benefit it would offer -- sure, it would allow rangefinding out to much greater distances, but we have Hirise images already for that sort of thing. I may be susceptible to persuasion, given a good motivation. Incidentally, loving the table view (http://curiositymsl.com/table/view). |

The AlgorimancerPG (APG) rangefinder utility is updated for Curiosity, http://clarkandersen.com/RangeFinder.htm I think I have the installer problem fixed.... It turns-out the installer problem is not quite fixed. The executable link installed under Start/Programs Menu works, but can't find the associated DLL file. However, if you navigate to the c:/Program Files/AlgorimancerPG directory (or wherever you opted to install the application), double-clicking on AlgorimancerPG.exe from that location works fine. This was my first attempt at having the installer put a link in the Programs Menu area, and clearly I have not mastered the trick. I'm guessing that I need to somehow provide a direct link to the DLL, perhaps through the registry, or perhaps simply have a copy of the DLL installed in the Programs Menu area; I'll have that sorted in the next few days. Meanwhile, the rangefinder application is useable, but you might want to map your own shortcut to the executable. Just at the moment, only the navcams from Sol 2 are really of interest -- this will of course change once driving commences. One problem with the MSL image naming system is that left/right image pairs tend to be separated by rather a lot when sorted alphabetically -- perhaps this could be compensated for in the posted image browser tools to make it easier to pair them together? It would take some minimally creative sorting. For those new to the APG utility, be sure to grab only the full-frame navcam image pairs, as it doesn't work with thumbnails or subsampled images. |
