QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Nov 1 2005, 04:45 PM) 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.  Also I've tried to make the software for anaglyph, but the software which dilo's using is much better. Dilo taught me the URL for downloading that software as, http://anabuilder.free.fr/welcomeEN.html |

QUOTE (tedstryk @ Nov 1 2005, 04:55 PM) I have....I was just commenting on how it is odd that a lot of the labels were in English on a Japanese language site. There may be a couple of reasons for this. One is that there may not be a set of Japanese characters that best describes the concept succinctly. But my bet is that they want to reduce the amount of work translating (aka "localizing") the pages. ASCII text sitting on a web page is fairly easy to localize (e.g. Bablefish); text imbedded in an image is not, since it's just another set of pixels with different colors/arrangements. You'd need to process the image with OCR type stuff, then translate what the OCR gives you, then write the results back out. Which is probably more trouble than it's worth, especially to a bunch of people trying to run a spacecraft. An easier way to localize images is to have multiple copies of the image, one for each language you support. Since this is also more work and requires more disk space, they may have a rule that says "all images must be released with English labels". It follows then that the supporting ASCII text on the page should use the same English labels to avoid confusing Japanese readers. I did notice a couple of images on that page with Japanese characters imbedded - maybe those just fell through the cracks. My company's software standard on this is to never imbed text in an image file - any labeling should be done by overlaying text controls, which are more easily localized. Sorry for the long OT-ish post

I can't cross my eyes no matter how hard I try.
Can someone make a 3D image? |

Regarding english text on the images, I think these images were probably prepared for an english-language conference (LPSC maybe?) or publication, and used here for convenience. They may also assume that much of the web traffic on their site will be non-japanese-speaking.

Wow, the irregular shape sure creates some odd shadows:

What direction is the "local down" on Hyabusa? I would have imagined that down would point to the center of mass, but I can see where that might not be so.
Weird rock, indeed. --Bill -------------------- |

The first estimate for 'down' would be the center of mass. For very irregular shapes it's better to treat the object as a collection of separate masses (for instance, several spheres or other shapes combining to make up the shape of the body), then calculate the gravitational attraction of each one and combine the results. There would not be very much difference between the results these methods for Itokawa. The centrifugal effect also has to be taken into account. Peter Thomas had a very interesting paper on this in Icarus a few years ago.

0500 UT for the rehearsal descent tomorrow, and Minerva's little adventure! There should be a webcast http://jaxa.tv/ from 0100 UT to 0700 UT.
