I've wanted one or other rover to use the IDD turret and wrist actuation to get the best self portrait possible. A really REALLY bad simulation using the model that is in MMB, and a 33 deg FOV.

Version 2 of MER MI Self Portrait simulation. I forgot to un-flat-field the MI in the first one

On both rovers IIRC but the main purpose was to assess the MTES shroud opening on Opportunity.

Can we call this animal a Merus Djellisonis?

No. Merus djellisoni. The specific name must be in adjectival form, and is never capitalized. By the way there really is a fish genus "Merus".

QUOTE (djellison @ May 10 2009, 04:55 PM) Version 2 of MER MI Self Portrait simulation. Would the rover really be so well in focus? I would have thought features would be unrecognisable at that distance. I think it would be worth it . Bin the images 8x8 so that it doesn't take a lot of resources.-------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

As Paolo said - we've seen the MI be used to observe the Mini-TES mirror
I very very roughly ballparked the fuzzyness from those. |

How about the field of view of each MI? How many frames is it?

I took the 31 x 31mm FOV at 63mm figure I found (thank you google) - basic trig tells me, roughly, 28 degrees. Thinking back - I may have gone a bit too wide. I'll make sure I'm doing 28 degrees, and DSN to 256x256.
I'll go and double-check and re-do it tonight with the fewest number of frames possible. I'll also see if I can put in a camera with a focus AT 63mm to see if I can emulate the DOF with that, and see if it changes across the model much - but to be honest, just blurring in Photoshop is about as realistic as it's going to get anyway Doug |

IIRC the MI FOV is ~40deg, and the depth of field is ~3mm, if that helps.

In that case - I'll re-work it with 40 degrees.

Here it is - 40 deg FOV. I took a sequence of 20 images, but only needed 14 frames to make the attached mosaic.
A rather bad movie of the arm seq I came up with in quicktime - which probably breaks every known IDD keep-safe rule - and the image dropped in to show the FOV, very roughly. In quicktime, you should be able to drag across the second half of the movie to see what I'm attempting to do.
