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. User Manual Author's Task List
Training_Notes - Eric's notes for what to introduce and how
SPC_V_and_V_testing - Directions and guideline for testing
Error_evaluation - How to evaluate things for error and consistancy
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 -- process_fits that supports NavCam
- 3.1 -- (in progress) Will have all code improvements from Rosetta and include Polar Wobble. Will receive regression testing.
Fun Tools
Support Tools - useful tools that aid the SPC process
updateDisplay - aid for landmark/maplet visualization
Programs
Lithos
lithos - aligns maplets to the current shape model and will provide slight changes to the shape (stored in MAPFILES)
lithosP - A version of lithos intended to be used in batch processing (i.e. run in parallel)
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
autoregisterP - adds groups of landmarks to an image using parallel processing
blemishes - masks regions of an image which contain blemishes due to, for example, downlink errors, bad pixels, or a cosmic ray hit.
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
Imager_MG - How to make images from maplets
Shaper
bigmap - 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
shape_info - generates DTM information
Utilities
duplicates - Generates the make_script.in file to accompany make_scriptP, comprising an ordered list of unique landmark names.
find_nofit - searches batch processing output files to identify landmarks or images which may need further work.
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_lmrklistX - generates LMRKLISTX
Script Makers Overview - User guide for the script-maker program suite
make_scriptA - generates the script that batch auto registers images using autoregister
make_scriptAP - generates the script for batch autoregistering images using parallel processing using autoregisterP
make_scriptF - generic script maker for user-generated batch processing jobs.
make_scriptP - generates the script for iterating landmarks using lithosP
make_scriptR - generates the script that batch registers images using register
make_scriptT - generates the script that tiles (makes new maplets) using lithos
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
make_tilefile - Generates the pixel/line maplet-center locations required to complete the tiling of a bigmap.
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.
