QUOTE (brellis @ May 27 2012, 01:33 PM)  Thanks for the map update, Tesh. I was pointed completely upside down with my previous question. I am not unfamiliar with such revelations here on our home planet  I second that. You have no idea how many times I refer to the USMF maps on top of the ones we have, including last Wednesday!

I love these shots where you can see Oppy's tracks tracing out the contours of the landscape, that let you imagine how she bounced up and down as she drove in and out of hollows, over ripples etc...

When I assembled the p1994 I did use the accelerometer telemetry to generate the associated sound. Much like for a phonographic recording, I used the Z value from the accels as the difference between the Left and Right side and the RMS of the X and Y values as the sum of the Left and Right to compute the two channels, I put everything into a WAV file and use LAME to convert it to mp3.
If we start driving on something interesting I will assemble more of these "sounds from mars". Paolo -------------------- Disclaimer: all opinions, ideas and information included here are my own,and should not be intended to represent opinion or policy of my employer.

Wow, turn away for a few days and miss something! Nice roiling rocks in view, just off the Cape.
And we're ever so closer to the whale spout, due east. That is indeed an interesting feature. |

Thought I'd give this a try with my meager Photoshop skills. For what it's worth, the micros from sol 2960 again as 3D mosaic:
Looks like the micro camera shot the left side from different angle than the right, as those planes are not parallel. We love you, Oppy! What an awesome little robot. |

QUOTE (walfy @ May 30 2012, 10:35 PM) ... Looks like the micro camera shot the left side from different angle than the right, as those planes are not parallel. ... That is correct. Since Oppy's Az actuator no longer works the way we shoot 2x2 (or 2xn in general) is to turn the turret 5 deg to the left then turn 5 deg to the right from the center plane where the IDD can move. The two stacks (see my interview with Stu where I explain what an MI stack is) are shot with the boresight a total of 10 deg apart which make the two frames about 25mm apart. The two stacks are not parallel to each other but the resulting geometric distortion is small enough that can be removed on the ground. In fact the major issue is not stitching two stacks together but the fact that the within a single MI stack each frame is centered in a slightly different position which makes certain surfaces quite difficult to image (Winter haven MI mosaic is one good example).

The Oppy weather site says tau is extremely low now. Looking at the curves from previous years, we can expect the air to start loosing its transparency soon, so enjoy it while we can...
