Putting this here, for reference as the payload of the JSON feed link for Perseverence raws (see source in other thread here)
https://mars.nasa.gov/rss/api/?feed=raw_ima...;&extended= Looks like there's a ton of good data in addition to just the (PNG!

If "camera_position" is correct at (2.08195,-0.111422,-1.69411) then WATSON's eyeball would be a fairly high 1.7m off the ground, and out ~1m in front of the body, just left (port) of centerline.
(For ref, in RNAV frame z=0 is ~ground level, positive down; hazcams are at x~ +1.1, z~ -0.7 and navcam at z~ -1.9.) An FOV of 37 deg diag would give about 1.1m diagonal in the image if pointed straight down. However if the axis in CAHVOR is correct then it's pointed ~20 deg below horizontal (it works out to match the "mast" azimuth & elevation values). Not convinced either of these is right - or my math, for that matter. |

Should be possible to find the WATSON footprint in the front Hazcam image. I've asked if the focus position can be put back into the public data, but we don't have much control over that. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
