2 screenshot of my personal 3d reconstruction software
this is present "AE" site of spirit.
based on "XYL" et "RSL" NASA product et some algorithms.








and a small video of my personal 3d software

Mars Rover Center Video

sorry for bad quality of video, but video file size it's a problem for me, i do'nt have big web space.

edit : sorry for private video setting it's public now

Interesting - and beside it on Youtube is:

I feel the need to use words that I would have to ban myself for...such as

Holy .... that's ........ amazing

Dare one mention words like release...sourceforge....public consumption...doug WANT

[Bob Shaw]

Doug:

Somehow, I thought your response would be like that, you 3-D geek, you!

Hehehe.

Bob Shaw

[MaxSt]

Very nice... please, tell more!

[tfisher]

Sweet! Yes, that is very cool. Here's another interested taker if you want to share your program!

[dilo]

Seen only now... I have no words too!
Indian3000, very promising as first post!
Really, we want to know/see more!

[helvick]

Indian3000, very promising as first post!

If we were handing out scores for best first post this has definitely got to be up there. Amazing stuff Indian3000, really impressive.

[edstrick]

I'm wondering if a parameter could be added to the code so that calculated surfaces that are within some number of degrees of being parallel to the line of sight could be rendered black or transparent.

[Indian3000]

LIke Zorro - he strikes...and he is gone.

Doug

i'm not gone,

I am just a little busy these last days

I prepare of anothers stuffs and a release of 3D site viewer

while waiting, you can downloader required them for the program


only free stuff.

the program is written in C# 2.0 with directX 9.

you need

in first, a graphic card with 32bits indexing surport,
my knowledge about this :
- Nvidia GForce 6, 7 and quadro can,
- GForce 4 can not
- I dont know for ATI, it is necessary to test.

personally I develope with a nvidia 7800GT, AMD X2 4200+ with 3x1Gig mem and 1.37 Tb of disk
Yes-yes "MER" stuffs takes place on the discs and a little band-width


.NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/dow...es/default.aspx
last version of directX 9.0c
here
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx
or on recent game ( or demo game ) cd
and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
only the 53.8 MB file and anything else ( if you want, you can but it's not necessary )


for datas :

on PDS site take in navcam data directory *XYL*.IMG (in general 12Mb file) product and *RSL*.IMG( 2Mb file )

link:
http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/mer/mer1no_0xxx/data/
http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/mer/mer2no_0xxx/data/

you can use *RSL*.IMG.jpg file in browse directory, only RSL not XYL in browse directory, generally file size if 200kb, but I prefer RSL product in data direcotry.

my example uses the following files :

caution some datas are bad in this file, they need to be filter

ok, i work on release now ...
give me some time to complete and make a user friend ly interface

i thinks some days.

I do not withdraw the idea to still make some screenshots before the release.


ha, another thing, I am French (Belgium-Brussels precisely) and I use has automatic translator from time to time… afflicts for the English fault.

[djellison]

Panic not - my co-admin Nico (Nix) is from Belgium as well ( Ghent )

I'm not sure how far you're thinking of taking all this - but the ability to export to a common 3D format ( )would be a hugely exciting feature

yes, for the moment I use a format has me, but I already have in my project the fact of saving the mesh in file with the directX format '. X ', 3ds max and others commons can open this format with a simple existing plug-in

I've been quietly watching this topic since Indian3000 started it. I guess we all are waiting to see where this goes.

Talk about something coming in from "out of the blue." (second & third definitions)

Indian3000, you have our undivided attention.

edited to add... P.S. This is just the kind of thing we need to entertain us on these long and cold winter nights.

[Nix]

Amazing stuff Indian

I'm looking forward to 'play' !

I suppose you couldn't pay me a visit and learn me all this stuff over an afternoon?

Nico

if you have plan on Brussels it is with pleasure

[Nix]

Cool. I'll be in touch It's been a while since I was in Brussels..

Do you know, by any chance Paul Vauterin? He's into 3-D modeling as well, made a presentation of the solar system open to visitors here at the observatory in Ghent.

Nico

[Indian3000]

First Release

please do'nt forget to read my preceding post on installation

.NET 2.0, SQLServer 2005 Express Edition, and direct 9.0c

installation
juste unzip file in one directory
launch "MarsRoverCenter3DSiteViewer.exe"

download XYL and RSL product and put it in same directory ( one directory by ROVER/SITE )

Using
click NEW 3d site
click add file only XYL product, Software autodetect RSL file in same directory
Click View and wait some time ( if the MESH file is not found, software generate it, if he found it, he load the last ... )

keys in 3d world are
left,right, up, down arrows for Rotation
Shift + arrows for Pan
F4 : WireFrame / Solid Draw
wheel : zoom



caution
- no site mix
- you can mix drive on same site
- in first time not load over 30 XYL, try before with 1 .. 2 .. 4 .. 10 XYL.
- use navcam XYL in first time.
- 32 bits graphic card requis.( see my post about this )


please give my a feedback ( if success or fail, give me the graphic card model )

a small tutorial come in little time

once again it's alpha alpha alpha software

good luck and have fun

addition of the color .... true color







Radiometrically calibrated color come from

http://www.lyle.org/~markoff/

site AEOP for navcam data
site AENL for pancam data

addition of the color .... true color

Really impressive work. I have this fantasy of someday putting on a VR headset and going for a walk on Mars... and this is taking us in that direction very nicely

[aldo12xu]

My jaw is hanging down to the floor!! Wow, Indian3000, that is an absolutely incredible program. I'll look forward to your tutorial to see if I can handle this baby.

Can't wait for some more of your examples!

[Nix]

algorimancer -I was thinking exactly the same thing

superb Indian!

Nico

[centsworth_II]

I too am very impressed by the 3d videos. Should "Farm" be "Fram"?

[tfisher]

The screenshots really are impressive! I tried downloading everything and running it; on my first attempt to create a new site I get the following error:

Okay, now I get as far as generating a site and being able to move around, but I only see the wire frame path and no images. Does this mean my graphics card isn't good enough? Or am I missing something else?

[CosmicRocker]

Indian3000: I am having problems getting your software to run. When I try to execute MarsRoverCenter3DSiteViewer.exe, I get an error message saying "MarsRoverCenter3DSiteViewer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

This occurs with both versions you have posted. My operating system is Windows XP Pro SP2, running on a machine very similar to yours: AMD X2 4800, 2 GB memory, NVIDIA 7900GT. I have DX 9.0c, and have installed the .NET and Microsoft SQL Server Express, using the default options. Do you have any suggestions?

yes it's your graphics card, but 2 goods news for you, SQL server, .NET and directx work fine
and i work on version without 32bits vertex index, and this problem will disparaitra. I have needs to do a little change in the code.

you must have something like this

[Indian3000]

a version without index buffer, normaly, the 32bits index limitation is avoid, but i need someone test.

I does not understand very well what you want to say, but if is to use my 3DViewer, file RVF and SVF are to already charged and treated in the database mdf.

i know some probleme on inter-site data file ( svf ) but i think is in my traitment i forget a parameter.
but all reference on same site are correct ... juste a problem on inter-site ...

[djellison]

What I mean is - the files are unavailable...I try and save one and it's not found....but I remember them all being available a few months ago (as I was looking at them w.r.t. putting together the mobility report maps)

Bingo That works!

...Which version of .NET you took
x86, x64 or IA64 ... ?

Thank you for you help. I took the x86 version. I thought that was correct, since my CPU is 64 bit, but my operating system is 32 bit. Should I use a different one?

[Indian3000]

Thank you for you help. I took the x86 version. I thought that was correct, since my CPU is 64 bit, but my operating system is 32 bit. Should I use a different one?

no, you have the good one, what you say is correct.

Thanks for your work to share this with us!

Indian3000: Thank you for your help. You are a genius. Those easy tests quickly identified a problem with DirectX. I installed an update and your software is now working well.

As proof, here is a screen shot from an Opportunity site. Downloading all of the data files is rather tedious, and apparently I missed one of the RSLs for this site. Hence, the missing wedge. Now that it is working I will find a more interesting area and teach myself to add multiple sites. I am guessing that I can do that if I put each site in a separate directory.

[lyford]

I still can't believe it actually works - must be some witchcraft involved!

Please, cosmic and indian and all who get this working - post screenshot after screenshot for those of use forced to live vicariously through your efforts. Simply beautiful.

i'm happy for you

but currently, the rules for site mix is as follows, you can load in one time all XYL for the same site

example : you can load All site 'AE' -> 'AE00', 'AE93', 'AEVO', 'AE..' ( is good )
but no 'AE' with 'AD' -> 'AE00', 'AD00' ( it's bad )

but i work on different Site loading ( not "drive", different "drive" work ), i just have a problem with "inter-site" computing, i have a table for this but some "inter-site" data are bad currently.. but this stuff come, quickly, I hope




tfisher :

forget the version R1 it is bad.

i thing with release R3 you try to load a XYL file without RSL. and you receive a FileNotFound Exception.

[djellison]

What would be good is to be able to present the mobility traces without any wedges at all - I know it might seem odd, but I'd like it

[Indian3000]

Doug

but you can do



you can show/hide wedges with check boxe 1 et 3 ( view screenshot in attach ) and with zone 2 you can change offset loaded path

example :

you load wedge in site "60" with path offset 2 ( by default ), path of site ("58","59","60","61","62" ) are loaded, put "200" or upper, and all path are loaded ...

I do not know if I am very clear, but with this, you can view all opportunity or spirit path in 3D without wedge ...

i have in may plan to add a label on path for more for more clearness.

[djellison]

Ahh - so Path offset is the number of site's of mobility data that are shown before and after the site or sites you've added! I was trying to think of a word to describe it - but I can't

One thing - have you tried some of the XYL's and RSL's from Sol 1? The ones that are only 256 x 256....it just crashes when attempting to add the file for me.

Doug

have you the filename of XYL who causes the crash ?

[Tesheiner]

As proof, here is a screen shot from an Opportunity site.

Mmm, site 62TO?
Navcams taken mid-drive on sol 617 just approaching what we called the "Four Lane".

[CosmicRocker]

Tesheiner: I don't remember the site ID, but it was from sol 617. The fact that you recognized it in that unlabeled image simply blows my mind.

[Tesheiner]

Don't call it unlabelled image; the rover's path was superimposed on the picture and the left part of it reminded me of the "northwest detour" (sols 619-631), so the actual site would have to be nearby.

[Indian3000]

My first attempt to match satelite and ground view

opportunity on site 62 ( sol 582 - 617 )

Generated with my software and XYL/RSL data

[Phil Stooke]

Amazing stuff. Thanks for this great contribution!

Phil

[djellison]

Utterly brilliant stuff.

I scrolled my way around the mobility data for all of Opportunity (I still don't understand how they got back from Pan Pos 2 to Karatepe before going in ) - and actually, it's not too bad, a few 'burps' in the data

Not sure if it would be any use, but there is new data from OSU that puts each site and drive into an accurate global frame...

http://anserver1.eprsl.wustl.edu/anteam/merb/merb.htm

I'm off to bribe my ISP so I can download thousands of XYLs

Doug

[dilo]

Indian, this strongly recall the work I did with Pov-Ray re-projected images during approach to Erebus!
Obviously, your work is more rigorous both in terms of path/coordinates both in terms of DEM (I worked with flat terrain!).
I suggest you to increase the contrast of the projected terrain in order to better distinguish/compare these features.
What about more recent data? (I guess official coordinates and DEMs aren't yet available, correct?)

[tfisher]

Partial success: by copying the ICSharpCode dll from the earlier zip file I get the R3 version to run and display something of images. But the whole wedges won't show at once; in fact only columns of pixels which are partly in the window and partly offscreen seem to show. Odd.

and with R2 you have the same probleme.

try with more xyl ...

I think that there are only DEM for Eagle and Endurance, but if somebody has the DEM for Columbia Hill, I am very interest

i can take some screenshoot with a better resolution, if you want ...

wget -r -nc -np -A "*xyl*.img","*rsl*.img" -I,"*rdr*" http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/mer/mer1no_0xxx/data/sol0070/

Obviously - mer1 is Oppy - swop that to mer2 for Spirit..and the sol number is self explan. really. It gets just the XYL and IMG's - nothing else.

Alternatively

CODE

wget -r -nc -np -A "*rsl*.img.jpg" -I,"*rdr*" http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/mer/mer1no_0xxx/browse/sol0005/

for the JPG's instead of IMG's - and just cut the "*rsl*.img" out of the first one instead.

good work

i dont know the english equivalent expression,but in french

"ce faire couper l'herbe sous le pied"

i work on a same module,
two thing, stereo screenshot and
stereo realtime navigation.

i work too on "dem" viewer thanx for the link

[Indian3000]

XYL /RSL viewer is only a small part of my program.

here is two year of my life and some thousand hundred of line of code.

the first lines of code one was written little time after the landing of opportunity.

this is screenshot of version 1.0, write version 2.0 now ...











web update



version 2
you recognize some element



my plan is to share this, but it is still too early. the program is not stable, but in several month, i thing make a release.

[MaxSt]

that's crazy...

By the way, can you make "top views" from very recent Opportunity images?

[Nix]

Man that IS crazy. I have so much to learn

shall I make a visit?

[djellison]

Actually, I just completed the game 'Mafia' so I know what to do.

Pretend your name is Paulie, grab a car, get gun's from a guy down on the south side..then go and 'pay him a little visit' to 'offer Mr Salieri's regards'

V2 looks astonishing, downloading tools in there as well. It's basically SAP / RSVP for the amateur community!

Doug

[djellison]

I set off grabbing stuff site by site for the drive from Spirit's landing site to Bonneville, but I've found a bug ( i think )

Basically, it's dumping every site on the same spot

it's not a bug, don't mix site now you can mix drive but no site, see post #44
i need a better Rover Mobility path before site mix.

[djellison]

Ahhhh I get it now.

Not sure how easy it would be - but when it comes to screen-shots and map making - it would be nice to have a value in the top corner that says the current F.O.V - so we can zoom in/out the same ammount every time we load it to make sure we're looking at the same ammount of 'stuff'

Doug

yes, why not, a bookmark of view ... cool idea , for the F.O.V i do'nt change it, it'is fixed to 45 deg. ( PI / 4 ) Rad.


some informations about parameters you can change the column radius ( 16 by default ) but if you change it you need to "check" the column REGEN ( for regeneretion , i recomputer a new mesh when the column is checked and you click on view ) 16 is a good value, after that, the precission and details are bad.

ha other thing a square in blue grid is a square 1 meter by 1 meter ( ex : radius is 16 then mesh is filtred 16 meter around the rover site-drive.) in others terms 1 unit in 3d world is 1 meter

with a right click in 3d form, you can show/hide Path et Path references, quaternion option is not used any more.

[djellison]

Ahh - it's a fixed 45 deg FOV.

Would it be possible to have a height of the 'camera' above the reference plane then - just a means to check the height of the camera

Also - are these Ortho or Perspective views?

a very big thanks to MaxSt for vst code

it was to to me of a very great utility.

I have it code in C#, and see first result

VST file in left and my mesh creation in rigth



we have some differences

VST is in Cam reference and XYL is in Site reference


I do not arrive yet has to make agreed between the two, but I work on this.

I am not sure to exploit the VST correctly

Indian3000!!! I got the Columbia Hills DEM to work! It took me a few downloads, mind you before I got it. And now I've been spinning and rotating the image, seeing structures and interesting geological connections that weren't noticeable before. Thanks so much for sharing your program!

I'm going to try tackling your 3D site viewer next, meaning I'll be up to 3 in the morning

Alright! the cPROTO version is working fine as well. If I do some interpretation and draw lines on the source S12-00095m100-3 image, will your viewer automatically include those lines in your 3D model?

Good grief somehow seems to be an understatement, but after spinning and panning around in the DEM views tonight, I can't find anything more eloquent to say than OMG! The route map overlay was really sweet. I was going to post a screenshot, but I have been too busy playing with this new toy. I haven't even had a chance to try the anti-vignetting module, yet.

Indian3000: It is working beautifully for me. I would like to learn more about the controls, and how to use other DEMs, textures, etc, if that can be done.

Congratulations. This is very, very nice.
