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.

.../... what's the best way to do this with Perseverance images, especially Navcam images from every end of drive? Many people I know, including myself, encounter problems mosaicking Perseverance's NavCam images using regular softwares : AutoPano, PTGuy, Hugin, ICE, etc. (*). When it comes to include the lowest part of the images, those are so much distorted that the results are ugly (sometimes the softwares show no result at all). I've got so much work to do (apart from job) for our French national astronomical organization (Societe Astronomique de France), that I don't have enough time to enter into computer programming But, I'd like feeding our educational website from time to time with lovely panoramic pictures with comments about the mission (see recent link on the SAF website as an example : https://saf-astronomie.fr/fonds-decran/ ). Any solutions found to mosaic those NavCam images, please ? Thanks so much in advance, this would really help the UMSF community (and the Planetary Society of which I am an active member) (*) After devignetting and color correction |
