Late last week I stumbled upon a few HiRISE derived DEM's (Randy Kirk works his magic once again!)

http://webgis.wr.usgs.gov/ftphirise/index.jsp (URL now down)

I'm working on both Vic Crater and the Columbia Hills. Fortunately, now I've got a Mac, I can use ISIS. I've figured out a fairly simple flow ( isis2raw as 16 bit unsigned, and then imported into Photoshop ) to take DEM CUB's and make 16 bit PNG's smile.gif

Just to demo how important that is for me as an animator - sliced comparisons of 8bit vs 16 bit.

A busy week unfortunately, but animations of various sorts are in the pipeline.

In general, I find 8 bit DEMs almost useless. They can sometimes be used by converting them to 16 bits and smoothing them - I almost never use them without fairly extensive processing.

Still figuring out the best way to explore and display these dems - especially the Colubia Hills.

Meanwhile - a revisit of an idea I had some years ago using a MOC dem. This is the 'power goodness' display - lit from the north in green, the south in red. A wider angle, and a close angle.

And using the Victoria one to simulate shadowing with the sun high in the sky, and as low in the sky as it gets ( 63ish degrees )

I've had a hard time trying to do justice to these data sets, the Columbia Hills and the Victoria Crater HiRISE Dem's.

Here's my effort for the Columbia Hills

(4.8 meg)

Victoria Crater (with added 'rover') tomorrow

Agree, very very cool!

All that's needed to make us happy is to tack onto the end of the movie a little video of Oppy SAFELY driving out of VC!!

I rendered a jumbo 4kx4k fisheye then polar-to-rectangled it back into this.

It's hard to get the rover wheels to sit on the terrain when the terrain doesn't actually appear until you render it smile.gif

I hope you all enjoyed the movies at full res courtesy of Emily on TPS's Blog smile.gif

I'm open to requests etc. My favorite thing to play with is lighting, this is a particularly nice shot, although it does bring out the trouble with the CCD's.

Well done! About time your work on these DEMs was recognised properly.
