Mars Observer MER HiRise Image
The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" (December 19, 2012, 06:19AM )
How did you get your hands on the source images? Did you hack into NASA's computer, intercept the transmissions from Mars or just ask nicely?

This is part of a stereo pair, and will eventually be posted to www.3dpan.org
. They come from the
Mars Orbital Observer and are part of the HiRise
project. The images are in JPEG2000 format and are
huge, so converting them to something that can be
used on Gigapan is very challenging. The stereo
pair to this image has been converted to a Tiff,
but it breaks the file definition size barrier and
nothing will work with it... THe source is here pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov

Also there is a question about scale... any idea how wide the field of view is here?

Jason, I just highlighted a portion of this image on my blog: blogs.agu.org/mountainbeltway/2010 /11/19/is-this-an-angular-unconformity-on-mars&nbs p;
/And a reader
asked for a clarification: "A 3d view of this
would help a lot: any idea what the HiRISE image
ID is, and if it’s part of a stereo pair?"
Can you point us to the source imagery, either
here of via a comment on the blog post? Thanks,
Callan
