ESA released new set of HRSC images from orbits 1225 and 1863, which are map projected and radiometrically calibrated. At this moment you have to get them through the PSA interface

As with the calibrated MER images, there are radiance offsets and factors that need to be applied to get each image into absolute units. They are in the PDS tags. Hilariously, in the map projected images, there are two tags for offset and two tags for scaling, labeled identically. They are significantly different in value, and there's no mention of which is actually supposed to be used...but by trial and error, I think it's the second of each that is appropriate to the map projected images (could be COMPLETELY wrong about this.)
Here's a couple simple image->RGB channel color versions, but with the scaling factors applied (not even close to true color, but a step in the right direction) The Meridiani image, thumbnail is rotated (left is south), full size has an arrow pointing at Victoria: And a crop of the full swath containing the water-ice crater on Vastitas Borealis I'm surprised they didn't mention the larger ice sheet north of the crater in their original releases. It is quite a sight. |
