Just for fun, a modified (meaning 'fake') version of Spirit at Low Ridge.
Happy 1000 Sols!

I downloaded the full-res panoramas in TIF format, and made some crops from them. False Color True Color Switch back and forth between the two images. There appears to be changes in the structure of the track. Is this some kind of lighting trick, or just a processing/image matching error? (Bonus - change the extensions to .png for images without artifacts.)

Part of the track shows up twice, some sort of processing error I assume.

edit

I think I see what happened, they were trying to remove the multicolored shadow from this

Future rovers need some kind of super-fast filter wheel, and a good memory buffer chip to quickly store the images before they are written to the slower flash RAM. You know, assuming that they don't have any other science to do that might need that monetary or mass budget allocation.

This means that these press release images aren't scientifically reliable... the trick il like the one we (the "Mars-4 fab") used to eliminate the broken mast in the Husband hill panorama. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

I don't think this is due to RAM speed. An image needs to be exposed, readout, compressed by a slowish processor and then stored in memory before the next one is taken. This takes time. -------------------- www.flickr.com/photos/ugordan

They are leaving themselves open to image manipulation charges from the Ho*gland followers and other kooks. Perhaps not with this specific image, but once you set the precedent of altering a true image, there's no going back. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
