GregM and 4'th Rock are certainly on the right track. Both results, even if "quick and dirty" look quite decent The registration on the mariner 69 stuff is better than I expected. The "less red" color of Sinus Meridiani is certainly real.
Note that the Mariner 69 pictures exist in multiple versions. And both mission slewed the scan-platforms back to partially overlap the earlier imagery at a different phase angle. Mariner 7 also photographed overlapping coverage with Mariner 6 for comparison purposes. Residual image of the martian limb is visible in the Mariner 7 color version. Subtraction of an earlier limb image, or a shifted version of one image from itself should substantially reduce the @#$@# ghost of the limb. The best possible Mariner 4 work will be when somebody can scan and OCR the paper copies of the 6 bit pixel data lists "picture element matrices" in that Mariner 4 project final report volume. One of the more sophisticated, modern pixel interpolation techniques <not just bilinear or cubic convolution> image resampling would also help suck the most possible from the 200 x 200 images. The ultimate restoration of the Mariner 4 data would require some form of interpolation of the "contour lines" formed by the 6-bit digitization to synthetize pseudo-8-bit data. Nice work... keep at it!. |
