> Part #1? Are we seeing the first part of a 180º color mosaic? I hope so.
Disregard it. Opportunity is planned to move today (sol 1103). And given the heading (216º) of the post-drive navcam mosaic my take is that the rover will drive towards the lump to take shots of this side of Cabo Corrientes. |

While looking at the images from sol 1100 I found that they tested what is called VTT (Visual Target Tracking, one of the new software capabilities) during the drive in that sol. There are some references about VTT on the net, including this one on the status report of sol 992:It looks like it was "right on the money". In any case, I hope they don't use this feature on the "lump" or "Hoy". Just in case. Here's the animation of VTT in action: |

Wow, that VTT looks quite impressive.
I wonder how much of this new programming will be adapted for use in the MSL, or even upgraded? Those rovers are so much smarter than when they launched. Target tracking, ability to find dust devils, and reasonably accurate 5-wheel driving capabilities. |

By the way this babies evolve I only expect to see them building a house and having small rovers... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
