Hi Everyone. I am starting a thread for discussions of the many ways people are interacting with Perseverance (and potentially other missions). These subjects are getting spread around other threads and maybe getting in the way of basic mission updates etc., so this is a place to bring this together. Feel free to contribute to it.
I am going to start by asking about panoramas - what's the best way to do this with Perseverance images, especially Navcam images from every end of drive? Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Thanks guys for testing. I’ve got it crashing in Firefox as well. Looking into it.
Hey Phil, regarding your question about navcam panoramas, you’re familiar with the general process of manually downloading and stitching; are you asking for suggestions for how to automate the process, or maybe a web app for this? If you’re looking for an automated local process, in linux it shouldn’t be too hard to write a python or shell script to look for new navcam images from a common sequence, and even verify in metadata that the images overlap, then download the images and stitch them using either hugin or python/opencv. You could then set this script up as a cron job to check once per hour, for example, and even send you some sort of alert when a new pano is ready. It would be neat to do this on a raspberry pi and set it up as a web server so you can view the panoramas from anywhere on your network or even over the internet. If you’re looking for a webpage, marslife.org is probably your best bet. If you had something different in mind, I could potentially put something together. |
