Beautiful! Again (as with Victoria) wishing we could name a "Far Side" crater after Gary Larsen.

I this a standard 6 foot humanoid, or a life form of a different scale? Fred, what do you think?

(waiting for James' color version) I had suspected that they may do a fairly large color pan here, so I was holding off on uploading that small part of it. Looks like they are! Here is a small false-color preview of that part in a context Navcam mosaic (excluding the Pancam images that came down today, still processing those). |

Hello all,
I see your fanatistic panoramas from Oppy since years. Now I search for a solution to view them in real 3D in my Samsung Gear VR device. Has anyone experience with converting panoramas or picture into 360 degree 3D movies (MP4)? I think it should be possible, but I have no idea where to start. Thanks, MoreInput -------------------- Need more input ...

I'd be interested in knowing how to do that to! I am not aware of anything other than shape from shading techniques. But ultimately the best solution will always be using both the Left and Right eye images and creating a terrain mesh.

This is Jan's panorama from sols 4423-4425 in circular form, and cropped to focus on the pattern of outcrops here. I would like to have a mosaic of images like this covering the whole valley floor - the part we have explored - geometrically controlled with HiRISE orthoimages. I have played with part of it. Of course it would be better if someone on the science team could make it and then release it...

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm used to seeing the monthly PS MER reports on the main PS blog site, http://www.planetary.org/blogs/, but it seems they no longer post them there. http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-top...ns/mer-updates/ seems to be the place to look. Sorry about that, it's related to a bug with the blogs landing page where it's not correctly pulling all the blog entries posted elsewhere on the site. I've reported the problem and it should hopefully be fixed soon. You should always be able to find her articles on the blogs landing page. (And apologies for my late attention to this, I was on vacation.) -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

But ultimately the best solution will always be using both the Left and Right eye images and creating a terrain mesh. This has been touched upon in a couple of other threads, such as this one: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...mp;#entry231680 Also, note this video from Sitting Duck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zW9yISB01Y Plus this from Herobrine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e76uBfWxD74 Sean has done some good work too. One can combine 3D meshes using stereo imaging from HIRISE (+ MOLA terrain), then adding textures and doing photogrammetry with the rover images. We might consider a thread with info on the actual software packages. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Excellent! Thanks, Jan - here is a circular version of your panorama. The pattern of outcrops and rocks is very apparent.
