Has anyone else been drooling over the images here..?

Mars Unearthed 3D MRO images

If anyone has, then can they tell me if this image is "vertically stretched" somehow? It looks very, um, spiky... blink.gif

I've been frustratingly close to generating DEMs of Saturn's satellites for some time using my own software that generates DEMs from stereo pairs. The problem is that the resulting 'DEMs' are far too noisy and contain too many spurious features and artifacts to be useful. If just this $%#€% thing worked as I want it to I would also be able to generate DEMs of Mars using two images (a stereo pair).

If anyone knows of any free/cheap software that can do this properly I'd like to know although I'm not particularly optimistic. One possibly interesting piece of code I found yesterday though:

I haven't looked at this carefully enough to know if it's interesting in this context but I'm not particularly optimistic.

If anyone is curious, here is my 'DEM' of one of Rhea's many craters:

Attached Image

Ugly, noisy and contains lots of noise, gaps and spurious features/artifacts/peaks (some real features are also simply missing!) but at least the program has managed to clearly detect two craters.

Related topics have been discussed before (in other words, this is not the first time I'm frustrated by my inability to generate nice DEMs ;-) ):
