Dust Devils In Jezero Crater, single-point repository of imagery Options

[tau]

Some very faint dust devils are even better visible in the difference images.
The images are converted to gray scale to remove amplified color noise.
From 0 min 43 sec to 1 min 26 sec I can count seven dust devils active at the same time.

Another view of the SOL 148 Event
Annotated -- 9 dust devils and a few gusts.
The event is 5 minutes long and we have 21 seconds of images.

This is amazing. Anybody want to build a wind farm on mars? Poor insight lander.

Really nice dust devils on sol 151.

One interesting DD -- it starts late -- wait for it! (center)
Another on the far left

I really appreciate those animations. From memory this seems the most active 5 minutes observed so far in the area. Also, probably the clearest example of dust devils moving in opposite directions, simultaneously, perhaps hinting at local rotating 'supercells' spawning those turbulences.

There is a right-left pair if someone wants to try an anaglyph

Two DDs on the left will blow out-- BUT at the end, a crisp DD strolls in on the far right

There is part of a right-left NAV pair

I finished up some improvements on the DD detector (C++) and tried it out on the SOL 148 Event.
Since this sequence was taken at High Noon at Jezero, there are no long shadows from the actual 'wispy' DDs.
So, I think the dark triangular 'mat' at the beginning is low flying dust flung from the passing DD. As the dust settles it takes on the color of the ground.
Light colors are more positive image pixels than the Averaged Comparison Image (21 frames), darks are more negative pixels
The program is fully automatic: drop the images in the working directory, press the button, and a minute later its is all done.
I believe a lot more hand processing would suss out more detail and make it more photorealistic.
I included the actual vs processed images as a comparison -- a little extra compression made it all fit into the upload limit.

( I think the Rover team may be using greyscale to save image download bandwidth (?) )

Stereo (parallel) view attempt for DD sol157
..no parallax for make benefit stereo so subsequent bribe of glorious 'turtle' to pose foreground!
