WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 6 Jan 06 Washington, DC DEEP SPACE CLIMATE OBSERVATORY KILLED. http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/index.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

It's almost useless to me, I don't want to make them think that what they propose is "bad" or anything like this. The rest of the metadata is pretty good and useful to me.
As long as I could find absolutely no documentation on the quaternion (frame definition, where is the scalar and the vector, etc) I had to guess everything by my own. I finally found what I thought is correct, then I deduced that I was not useful to me... I am very far to question the intrinsic value of the quaternion they propose, maybe for example it is not supposed to represent directly the orientation of the image. Anyway, I don't feel the "right" nor the confidence to contact people that have other things to do that being bothered by someone from the other side of the planet, who speaks poor english, who just plays a bit with the data they are very kind to propose and who maybe doesn't understand what is proposed to him due to lack of information. If you feel well doing it, please feel free to do it. |
