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
3.0A0 -- These have changed required in SPC to finish the SubComponent testing. It changed regress, process_fits and geometry
- 3.0A1 -- Released by Bob in support of Dawn @ Ceres
- 3.0A1a -- Minor changes
- 3.0A2 -- In development. Includes miscellaneous changes.
- 3.1 -- (in progress) Will have all code improvements from Rosetta. Will receive regression testing.
- 3.2 -- (in progress) Will include polar wobble.
Work Flow
Making_new_landmarks - Workflow from the 50m resolution work done for Dawn at Vesta
Basic_tiling - The core procedures for tile a bigmap
Standard_iteration - Runs lithosP
Adding new images - How to run autoregister
Building a shape model - How to run densify
Fill_procedure -- Replace current topography with shape or bigmap. Fixes problems.
Obsolete Small_Footprint_Processing - Lets you do tiling copying only the files that you need for the specific task.
Scripts - from AAA.TXT
Fill - Take topography from a bigmap and replace a landmark's terrain with it.
Programs
Lithos
lithos.e - aligns maplets to the current shape model and will provide slight changes to the shape (stored in MAPFILES)
geometry - 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
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_rgb.e - Renders a 3D image of a bigmap using red and blue
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
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
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
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
Key Diagnostic Files
RESIDUALS.TXT - Errors within the map and images
INSIDE.TXT - Only the maps that are inside of the most recent bigmap created
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
- Generate a maplet with specific parameters
- Then tile maplet with overlapping better resolution maplets
- Process more images and tile a maplet (3-4 hours)
- AUTOREGISTER, Create Bigmap from 0.4 pm/px maps, set up batch run tiling
Papers and Presentations
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.
