It's time to start a new topic for Juno's Perijove-09.
Due to solar conjunction, data downlink is delayed several days, but things appear to look good thus far. Data downlink started on October 31, and if everything continues well, it should be a matter of a few days, at most, until the majority of the raw Perijove-09 images will become available. Due to the incremented available storage for JunoCam, we may get a sufficient coverage to render a pole to pole -- well, almost pole to pole -- fly-over reconstruction, despite the difficult communication near solar conjunction. I'll have a try at least, over the next few weeks. |

Hey everybody, first time posting to the site after learning of it's existence the other day. I've been getting back into space-oriented side projects lately and wanted to add Juno image processing to the list. I haven't dug too far into the "proper" methods of processing these images yet but did a quick test last night regardless. I was really surprised to find that compiling the color separations into one image seem to leave the result pretty far feeling from true color.
I'll be looking at more methods to bring that to a better accuracy but for now I wanted to share what I came up with, on the left is what I got just from compiling the red green and blue channels and on the right was my first run at altering it to try and bring out some of the detail. I didn't do any drastic colors, I was mostly trying to sort out how to bring out the clarity of the features from the North Pole image I used. I would love any feedback you could provide and plan to post more as I continue to refine my process, and will probably also experiment with some other styles just for fun. |
