I've found my religion, and it is Google Mars, via Saints Emily and Eduardo! Thanks so much

Don't forget to thank SFJCody -- he did the lion's share of the work getting earlier map updates done.

Also from me very much thanks for the maps: Let's set the sail to Cape York!

There's a lovely new color view of the northwest rim of Endeavour: http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_021892_1775
This makes me wonder what parts of Opportunity's path have been covered in color. It's a question I know I could answer myself if I had the time, but I don't. If I were going to answer it, I'd figure out which images crossed Opportunity's path and then identify the regions lacking color coverage..... -------------------- |

Thanks for posting that beautifully colored view...
I notice the related context swath was out-with Oppy's current travails... Is HiRISE planned to continue on Oppy's trek, by any routine ? Happy HiWISHES -------------------- Ladies and Gentlemen, Sample Return...

This is a start on the colour coverage with the latest images.
If anyone would like a larger version (17.7mb) |

Tweaked the new HiRISE image of Cape York to make it look a little less garish, hopefully a little more natural, and then, just for fun - so not claiming mega-accuracy - dropped some 'virtual Oppys' onto it at various places, to show the scale of the features at Cape York...
This might be useful for our lower-tech members who can't access HiRISE images via the IAS Viewer, or the Google Mars images. Edit: more pix at: http://roadtoendeavour.wordpress.com/2011/...ew-of-cape-york -------------------- |

Oh wow!
Once we get on that color patch, that'd be as good a place as any to proclaim official 'arrival', right?

Lovely view and I like those possible routes, Stu. Might the team forego those excursions in pursuit of the clays at Tribulation?

Lately I've been working on HiRISE GE extension of Endeavour rim, the area south of Cape York. As a result I uploaded this kmz example. The procedure was as follows:
1. cropped PSP_010341_1775_RED using JP2_PDS/PDS_JP2 ("Area" option) 2. converted JP2 to png using "convert" (ImageMagick) 3. loaded png to GE, tuned North, South etc. coordinates and finally saved as kmz Surely this method is not optimal. As a consequence I have one big image being loaded so GE hangs a little bit while loading. But later it works ok At the beginning I wanted to use MapTiler (just as it was done in previous posts) but it produced strange results for this big png file. My tests with smaller example files looked more optimistic with that program. Here are some screenshots:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...088526/sizes/m/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...088544/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...088528/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...088534/sizes/l/ (here it looks that I need to work more on that  )I decided to upload kmz maybe sbd would like to use it... https://rapidshare.com/files/1768082589/tes...deavour_rim.kmz -------------------- Polish space portal covering up-to-date space news: www.kosmonauta.net

That sounds great!
But, as you said, it's not optimal given the file size; actually, my laptop almost freeze during 1-2 minutes and finally finishes with a big "X" (can't display) instead of the real picture. I'll suggest you to keep working with MapTiler but splitting the big source file into smaller (e.g. 8000x8000) pieces first. QUOTE (KrisK @ May 20 2011, 12:30 AM) At the beginning I wanted to use MapTiler (just as it was done in previous posts) but it produced strange results for this big png file. Could you detail it a little bit? QUOTE http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...088534/sizes/l/ (here it looks that I need to work more on that ) That's due to small differences in the lat/long coordinates you are using (in relation to the map I made). I can provide you with some data that should solve it, if you want. |
