New images released!
And raw images at various processing levels from PJ1 are now in the JunoCam gallery. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Gerald : Thanks! You’re absolutely right that (at least so far) everything I’ve put together has been through working purely in 2D. I did initially grab some data from Horizons to actually model Jupiter/PJ1 in 3D, however I couldn’t find a good source for JUNOs rotation at any point along it’s path.
Interestingly, re-projection of image data onto a base geometry is actually a very common technique in VFX, and if I can find a suitable way of modelling JUNOs actual position/rotation I’m very interested in exploring it further as we get access to the next set of data! I also wanted to quickly say that your images are consistently phenomenal, and I must admit to being slightly in awe of the technical knowledge that goes into them! That last image of Jupiter is, of course, no exception. Amazing work! tanjent/mcaplinger/Gerald : The Rossby waves did confuse me slightly as well when I put the images together! Thanks for the explanation - I have so much interesting reading to do Cheers! Matt |

everything I’ve put together has been through working purely in 2D. Frankly the results are cosmetically better than what we are getting with the full 3D solution, so why change anything if it's not broken? As the spacecraft gets closer to the planet and its position is changing more across the image acquisition, the 2D solution may break down. And with 2D you probably don't have a good mapping to absolute lat/lon. But for visual examination your products are IMHO the best so far! Of course a lot of that is the sharpening and photometric removal; I'm very interested to get more details about your workflow for that. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
