I've been a heavy user of Midnight Mars Browser for several years and I'm incredibly grateful for the work that Michael has done.
Now I ask myself, should we create again an alternative way to look and search for images coming from Mars? In the last several months I developed a way to ingest InSight images in order to have a small database and a telegram bot that tells me when a new image is uploaded to the InSight web site and I can try to do the same with the MSL imagery. But, I have several questions: What is the better way to show the data in the web page? Which is the best way to order the images? I'd love to hear some suggestions for that. Greetings. |

I've improved the deBayering on my site http://lcdm.ca/msl/. I now handle the edges of the frame better, so colours are good right to the edges. Also I use a simple method to remove the "hot column" in the ML images. This is a bright column (column 1070, a green-blue column, in the full-resolution frame) that runs down most of the ML images. I simply replace that column of pixels with the average of the neighbouring green-blue columns before deBayering. Due to the jpegging in the public Bayered images, the removal isn't perfect and you may notice some residual "scarring" within an 8-pixel jpeg block of the hot column. Both these changes apply to new images, not old ones still on my server.
I've also added lists of deBayered images at the top of each individual sol page. These can be used to download all at once, with a browser plugin or, for example, with CODE wget -Fi http://lcdm.ca/msl/2935/ML.html if you can use wget (or some similar command with curl). Again, these lists only include new deBayered images. |
