I've been struggling all evening, to manipulate the full size version on my poor old computer.

Now it's getting late, so it'll have to wait. In the meantime here is a lower resolution (about 1/4) first draft.

Attached Image


I believe that with this done that is full mission success for SSI. Congrats Mark!

Great imagery James Canvin & Astro0.


Thanks.

My own thoughts are that the first 360 pans should have been the priority for the first few sols, before unstowing the arm & digging. That arm is quite an intrusion.


Having the arm moving about is not too much of a problem. They have already retaken a few of the images in the near field when the arm was in the way the first time.

Can I ask, what software was used & is it expensive?


I use Hugin to stitch the images (free open source smile.gif ) and usually the GIMP to post-process (touch up saturation/brightness etc, add credits, save as jpg, etc.) (free open source smile.gif ) However for really big images like full resolution 360 degree pans the GIMP really struggles and I then use Photoshop which can handle these much better.

All the matching between frames is done using a program I have written myself from scratch which while has not cost me anything in monetary terms has cost me more time than I even want to think about over the years!

I was trying to manipulate some large images (planet texture maps 21k pixels wide) & the ImageMagick library on a RAM-challenged old Linux box was just crashing. There's a JPEG2000 format or something which is supposed to facilitate handling large images at differing crops and resolution, but I haven't looked into that. A simple (although slow) stopgap was to create a much bigger swap file so there was enough virtual memory, & it eventually chugs through (in that case splitting the big file up into tiles).
