Hi Nirgal and all, I would like to discuss about vignetting and methods of resolution for it. I'm mainly interested in mathematical methods that could automatically calculate and adjust the right grey value for each pixel in a single picture.

My current method works with more or less transparent layers over the original picture that so roughly are able to balance the grey values. A perfect layer have to be the exact inverted brightness difference of each picture with this shadow effects. This method is very effective if you get the correct inverted values. These shots of the Mars sky come nearly at such a perfect mask, but not always. And of course the center of the pictures lose much of theirs original brightness/luminance sadly.

I have in mind a mathematical method that can adjust each grey value in a pic in order to obtain a completely balanced brightness over the entire picture. But I'm not in the position to reach that. I only know one have to start with the calculation of the grey values in the center of the picture. In the center are quasi the reference values of the whole picture, if I'm correct.
Is there a possibility (mathematical method) to get (roughly) the same brightness and luminance like in the center over the whole picture from the MERs?

Greetings, Peter

Hi Michael, best we would talk about it in German, only the other members here would pull one's hair out (or so rolleyes.gif ).

I dont know the FFT method so far, but it seems to be fundamental when programming high quality picture editing software. After a quick search in the web I found very interesting examples - but a.t.m. definitively too difficult to me.

Did you wrote a program for the FFT caculation that now works automatically when processing the MER pics?
My only hope is that you could programming a plug-in to PhotoShop with it cool.gif biggrin.gif
When you get satisfactory results then, I would be the first customer!

Probably / Vielleicht biggrin.gif

I think that my program works quite well now, though, you have to treat every image individually - not fully automatic, yet. Well, you only have to tune one parameter.

Here are some examples:
Sol 107, before and after anti-vignetting:


Sol 581 partial panorama (Autostitch):


Looks quite promising.

Unfortunately, I use a data language called IDL, which is a commercial product and fairly expensive sad.gif That's what we use at our institute. I wish I'd be able to write a Photoshop plug-in, but I am not mad.gif If anybody else here would like to transfer this into another language, I could provide commented code.

Michael
