My personnal MER 3d software Options

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

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.

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 ?

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.

My first attempt to match satelite and ground view

opportunity on site 62 ( sol 582 - 617 )

and references marks



and video ( but it's not very good by this way )

Amazing stuff. Thanks for this great contribution!

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...

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

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 ...

yes I am entraint to look at if both are in phase

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 ...

If you like DEM's..
