WIKI for Bob Gaskell's StereoPC

General Info

This is an attempt to document of some of the key programs and support files for Stereo Photoclinometry. I've been taking pretty good notes, and I thought we could all share and benefit from what we each have learned. If you figure something out (or get help from Bob himself), be sure to post it. If you need help with the wiki, let me know (or just send me the info).

• General_Parameters - Resolution scale, etc.

• Questions_to_ask - When I talk to Bob, these are things I am wondering

• Table_of_Contents_For_User's_Manual - We will come up with a table of contents for OSIRIS SPC. Here is where I will be putting my notes. Other's with suggestions are welcome.

• Training_Notes - Eric's notes for what to introduce and how

Versions

• 1.0 -- Initial version of SPC
• 2.0 -- Version of SPC with the Common library created

• 2.1A7 -- This is the baseline version of Gaskell's software. I has gone under SubComponent testing

Programs

Lithos

• lithos.e - aligns maplets to the current shape model and will provide slight changes to the shape (stored in MAPFILES)

• geometry.e - figures out a surface based on landmarks

• residuals.e - figures out a surface based on landmarks

• register - aligns a new image with a reference, manually

• autoregister - adds groups of landmarks to an image

• convert

• make_sumfiles

• dynamics

Imager

• map_coverage.e - shows the coverage that has been processed by resolution

• coverage.e - shows the global coverage that has been processed by resolution

• image_map_mono.e -

• image_map_rgb.e - Renders a 3D image of a bigmap using red and blue

• image_map_stereo.e -

• view_shape.e - The generates a point-of-view image of the shape model

• panaroma.e - Makes a 360 degree panaroma image from a big map

• surface_imager.e - Makes an image using a surface point of view from a big map

• display.e - Appears to generate an image that shows the location of landmarks on it

• mosaic - Creates a mosaic of images registered to the shape model

Shaper

• bigmap.e - processes maplets to form a bigmap

• spheremapB.e - This reads the Zmap files and makes the resulting map line by line.

• update_infiles.e - generates a list of landmarks and headers for showing coverage

Utilities

• find_nofitT.e - searches for alignments that had problems

• export.e - builds scripts to package up the new maplets/landmarks into a tar ball

• importL.e - builds script to unpack maplets/landmarks and integrate into a master directory

• make_scriptT.e make_scriptT - generates the script that tiles (makes new maplets)

• refresh_sumfiles.e - updates the sumfiles to match the maplets

• showmap.e - generates an image (.pgm) for a specific bigmap

• pr_template - (copy the codes for when making a new prog page)

• make_pictlistX - Builds the file PICTLISTX.TXT which makes things run faster

• process_img - Takes a list of files and creates make_sumfiles.in. Creates IMAGEFILE for each images

• make_sumfiles - Computes the SUMFILE and NOMINALS

Gravity

Notes_on_Gravity

• Mgrav.e - Makes MGRAV.TXT and generates gravity images based on a map or bigmap.

• Sgrav.e - Makes a file called SGRAV.TXT that is like SHAPE.TXT but with extra columns for surface acceleration, potential and laplacian (just as a check). Based on a shape model. This is for a non-rotating body with GM=1.

• Sacc.e - Provided the correct GM and Omega, it will use SGRAV.TXT file to create the surface acceleration.

• Selv.e - Provided the correct GM and Omega, it will use SGRAV.TXT file to create the surface elevation (same as geoid).

• Slap - Provided the correct GM and Omega, it will use SGRAV.TXT file to create the surface laplacian.

• Spot.e - Provided the correct GM and Omega, it will use SGRAV.TXT file to create the surface potential.

• Sslpa.e - ?

Directories

• LMKFILES - Stores the actual landmarkts, .LMK

• MAPFILES - Stores the maplets, .MAP

• IMAGEFILES - Directory that holds the image files, .DAT

• SUMFILES - Directory that holds the sum files, .SUM

• NOMINALS - Directory that holds the sum files, .NOM

• NEW_IMAGES - Directory that holds the new, and unprocessed image files (in pgm format)

• DATA - A place for the SPICE kernels

• UTILITIES - Programs that are specific for this project

• SHAPEFILES - Holds the different types of shapefiles

Key Input Files

• LMRKLIST.TXT - The full list of landmarks

• LMRKLIST1.TXT

• PICTLIST.TXT - List of the images that are in the system

• PICTLISTX.TXT - List of the images that are in the system with precomputed metadata.

• BIGLIST.TXT - List of mapfiles (bigmaps) used to make a new bigmap. Generated from bigmap.e

• NEWFILES.TXT

• OVERLAPS.TXT

• SGRAV.TXT - produced from Sgrav.e. Similar to SHAPE.TXT with extra columns for surface acceleration, potential and laplacian (just as a check).

• MGRAV.TXT - produced by Mgrav.e. It contains vector position, potential, acceleration, slope and delta elevation.

• SHAPE.TXT - The shape model of the object. Done is 3 column format of vertex using x, y, z coordinates

• GEOID.TXT - gives the geoid in X, Y, Z position. A 3 column file.

• SHAPEC.TXT - gives the height above the surface. A 4 column file.

• MOSAIC.TXT - A list of images that mosaic uses to build a moasic

• make_sumfiles.in - List of new images to process

• make_sumfiles.txt - SPICE references

• IFRAME.TXT - Converts to J2000

• INIT_LITHOS

Key Diagnostic Files

• RESIDUALS.TXT - Errors within the map and images

• USED_MAPS.TXT - All maps used when making a bigmap

• USED_PICS.TXT - All images used when making a bigmap

• PICINFO.TXT - List all the images and parameters about them

Support Files

• Usually these files are used to run batch jobs or scripts.

• make_scriptT.in - Used by make_scriptT.e to build run_script.b

SPC Lessons

• Lesson 1

  • Gain familiarity with file structure

  • Process new images to use in solution (convert/PROCESS_IMG)

  • Display an image for context

  • Make SUMFILES and NOMINALS (make_sumfiles)

  • Run dynamics

  • register a couple images

Papers and Presentations

• LPSC 20??

Deprecated

• view_maps.in - A list of all the maplets to be used in view_maps.e. The first line isn't read. The file should be terminated with "END"

• view_maps.e - This will do "paper mache" of all the maplets listed in view_maps.in.
