It's time to open a perijove-4 thread.
Voting is open for another two days. So, don't hesitate too long. Besides the discussion and the POIs on the mission page, you might consider John Roger's detailed discussion of several interesting features. If everything goes well, all instruments will be switched on. |

Now at last I took the time to finish the Juno-related software development I started around the time of the Juno Earth flyby back in 2013. Now I can reproject the raw framelets to simple cylindrical projection and render the resulting maps, resulting in nice images.
Here is a test image. This is image 119 ("radiation trend monitoring"). It was obtained on February 2, 2017 when Juno was ~340,000 km from Jupiter's center on the outbound leg of its trajectory. I selected this image because it's a global image where limb fits are trivial - this makes debugging stuff easier. The left version is the image with almost no processing except for color correction and some sharpening. In the right version global illumination has been removed using a modified Lommel-Seeliger function and the contrast greatly exaggerated. In the original images the area near Jupiter's right limb is saturated in the red and green channels, resulting in very low contrast and slightly strange color. Interestingly, the saturated value in the original raw images is 240. The contrast is rather low. I suspect I need to add square root encoding to the processing to increase the contrast; I noticed that Gerald does this. One thing that caused me some minor headaches was a part the SPICE instrument kernel file, specifically this section: CODE --- 0,0---------------------|----------------------. | 230 pixels 4.94 deg | RED 128 pix * | -------- --- `----------------------|------------------1600,128 | V +Yjc | 61.69 deg | Boresight |---------------------------------------------| (+Zjc axis) | | is into the page Maybe I'm missing something elementary but the value 61.69 deg seems strange and I get weird results if I use it. However, a 58.015 deg field of view for all 1648 pixels works perfectly and is also consistent with the 58 deg value for JunoCam that I've seen elsewhere and it's also consistent with JunoCam's focal length and pixel size. As usual a big part of the work involved correcting the pointing. I used SPICE kernels and software I wrote using the SPICE toolkit to get the spacecraft position and pointing and to optionally correct the pointing (somewhat comparable to what the ISIS3 deltack program does). For the interested, here is an example of the output. It's somewhat similar to a PDS label file but with some 'new' custom labels that I added.
