"After reaching the sub-solar point,Hayabusa started to travel out of the ecliptic plane to observe the polar regionsof Itokawa".
This make images more dramatic and shows amazing shape oddities. Note the protruding boulder below/right of image center, its projected shadow is stunning! The asteroid profile in the lower/left portion is really disappointing, seems to appear an artificial cut !  I bet the south pole sand desert visible in the center will be one sample collection target...

QUOTE (Harry @ Nov 1 2005, 11:21 AM) I was waiting for this move, Harry! When observed as a stereogram, this didn't convinced me (it seems that the program simply disriminated between flat and corrugated surfaces). However, anaglyph is impressive:

Can you try that again dilo? It looks like only one channel and the computer I'm using doesn't have my photoshop on it.

And everyone's ISP (plys UMSF's host) would prefer a JPG

QUOTE (Harry @ Nov 1 2005, 07:21 AM) Here is a wiggle-animation between the two images you posted:
It looks like your program has the effect of shifting pixels to the side more if they are close to the average of nearby pixels, and leaving them fixed if they are far from the average. This makes, for instance, the smooth dark patch in the upper lobe shift a lot (very close) while nearby rocks with a hard shadow/sunlight transition stay fixed (farther away). It definately is an interesting effect, and while it doesn't necessarily produce correct depth results, its cool that you get even this good of a result with a purely image-processing approach. |

Harry. It's a cool little tool. I would add that in future versions you might think about including a routine to create an analglyph (I'm always forgetting which channel goes where and have to check my notes). The wiggle thing has proven useful as well, you might see about making that an option. (Then we can create pictures of girls playing volleyball on the beach.)
Also, as Doug noted a jpg is almost essential these days. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Sorry, I used bitmap because it preserve colors better than jpeg, forgot not all people can easily visualize it!

Outstanding... even if they achieve nothing more, this is a major accomplishment. I hope we will see images during the descent to the surface (I don't know how the camera is oriented), and of course from the surface with Minerva... and when the Hayabusa team release a high resolution global photomosaic in cylindrical projection I will be even more delighted... I can croak a happy bloke.
(until the next new solar system event comes along... that seems to be every day these days.) Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I think AMICA ( the camera on board ) is Nadir pointed along with the sampling funnel-tube-thing. Dont they intend to image a marker that they drop?
This probably gives the game away..  Looking at the huge boulders on that thing - they'd have to be carefull to not damage the solar arrays. Given the approach speed ( tiny ) and the force of gravity (also tiny) I'm sure it could probably happily sit on the asteroid balances on a solar array with no risk to the structure of the spacecraft, but it's not something you want to try, right Doug |
