There is now PDS-format JunoCam cruise and Earth flyby data available; it's been submitted to the PDS, but MSSS has gone ahead and posted it on their website. I've created an index page to it here. Unlike my usual index pages, there aren't any thumbnails because of the odd nature of JunoCam images, with their long skinny shapes and interleaved framelets. I haven't played much with these data because it's a bit beyond my skill -- I look forward to seeing what any of you can do with it.

The new frame and instrument kernels (plus information/comments they contain) mentioned in the previous post have eliminated most of the systematic errors I have been getting, meaning that the corrections I need to make to the camera pointing are now much smaller. What I'm doing is comparable to what ISIS3's deltack does. However, small errors apparently remain. Because of this there is one issue I hope Mike can clarify (I suspect Gerald also knows something about this).
juno_junocam_v02.ti has lines like this: INS-6150#_DISTORTION_X = 814.21 The width of the images is 1648 pixels. Does the above line mean that the optical axis passes through x=814.21 in the images and not width/2 (=824) as in other spacecraft cameras (e.g. Cassini, Voyager, Galileo and Dawn) I'm familiar with? |

Does the above line mean that the optical axis passes through x=814.21 in the images and not width/2 (=824) as in other spacecraft cameras (e.g. Cassini, Voyager, Galileo and Dawn) I'm familiar with? Yes. At least that's what we are suggesting you use in the camera model. No camera really has the optic axis going directly through width/2 -- if it says it does, that most likely only means that other parts of the camera model have been adjusted to compensate for that assumption (camera model parameters don't have to be physically accurate as long as the residual errors are low.) For this most recent kernel update, we (a summer intern and I) measured thousands of cruise star image locations and then used Nelder-Mead nonlinear optimization to minimize camera model error while varying seven model parameters: image optical center (cx, cy), the first two terms in the radial distortion function (k1, k2), camera focal length (fl), and camera boresight angular misalignment in X and Y (xr, yr). The residual error is still about 1 pixel cross-spin and ~2.5 pixels down-spin (1 sigma); the latter higher because of remaining timing slop. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
