I decided to create a special thread for this topic. Previously information on IMG2PNG was scattered across various threads here.
I new version of IMG2PNG is now available. For those that don't know, this is a command line uitility that can convert various PDS formatted files to PNGs (8 or 16 bits per pixel depending on the input files). This utility should work for lots of different PDS files, e.g. MER, Pathfinder, Voyager, Galileo, Cassini, Stardust, various Mars orbiters, Mariner 9/10 (!), Viking Orbiter, Viking Lander, Magellan, Clementine, Messenger, New Horizons etc. The major new feature in the new version is the ability to convert FITS files. IMG2PNG can be downloaded by visiting http://www.mmedia.is/bjj/utils/img2png Any information on possible bugs welcome. |

A new version of IMG2PNG is now available. There are several fairly minor bug fixes and some Dawn-related improvements but there are also a few new features. The biggest one is the ability to automatically remove reseau marks from Voyager, Viking and Mariner 9 & 10 images. This should make these images a bit easier to process. The new features are:
(1) Reseau marks can be removed using a new command line switch, -remres (2) By default IMG2PNG now always flips the image horizontally and/or vertically if this is necessary to get a correctly oriented image and if IMG2PNG knows that this is necessary. This affects the conversion of Dawn and Rosetta images. This behavior can be disabled using the -noflip switch. (3) -fnameflip can be used to add information on if/how it flips the image to the output filename. As usual, IMG2PNG is available here. If you already have IMG2PNG and only want to download what has changed you can download this small ZIP file which only includes what has changed. |
