= 1st Annual PRI Workshop on Image-Based Modeling and Navigation for Space Applications =
  June 6-8 Short Course

Welcome to the 1st Annual RPI Workshop on Image-Based Modeling and Navigation for Space Applications.  This is a persistent webpages (will continue to exists after the training) that contains the information you need to get ready and the lesson info.


== Goals ==

 * Bring the students to the "SPC Training Level 2" 
  * Provide enough training to new personal to be able to directly and substantively help an experienced person build a shape model
  * Provides enough background so that additional practice and instruction can occur
  * Provide a systematic review of key SPC concepts and techniques to aid more experienced users understand subtle, but important, SPC dependencies
  * It will be insufficient to fully train new personal to a level in which they could run an entire mission without support, but it will go along way to improving their confidence with the program

 * Specific things to learn
  * Be able to create landmarks and add images
  * Basic trouble shooting and fixing mis-registration
  * Perform tiling
  * Do iterations
  * Run residuals, geometry

 * Optional, depending on time and understanding
  * Register images to shape model or maps
  * Autoregister

 * Practice
  * Create landmarks
  * Try out error-injected images into the calibration test




== Student Prep ==

Because class time is limited, it is important to get the software and data installed before you show up to the conference.  I will be available during the conference to help troubleshoot problems and help get your system functional before the class starts Wednesday morning.  Once the class starts, I won't be able to ignore everyone else in the class to fix an install.  

To maximize your learning in the class, I provide some information that will be beneficial to review.

 * Stuff to read
   * Gaskell's 2008
   * Palmer's basic write up

== Required Tasks To Complete Before Class Starts ==

 * Sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement.  This must be on file before the software can be distributed.
 * Download SPC software -- encrypted link will be sent only to class attendees
 * Compile and install SPC.
   * [[Installing SPC Instructions]] (coming soon)
 * Download sample data.  The data volume is large, so it is important to do it ahead of time. (coming soon)

   * XCode - Apple's main compiler for OS X.  It has many libraries you need. - https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
   * gfortran  - https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#MacOS
   * spicelib - http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/toolkit_FORTRAN.html


== Extra software that is useful ==

 * Software - Please load the following
   * MacPorts - http://www.macports.org/install.php
   * gnuplot - Installing using MacPorts, "sudo port install gnuplot"
   * imagemagick Installing using MacPorts, "sudo port install ImageMagick"
   * GraphicConverter -- http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/
 * SPC tools - This is a suite of tools that make measuring pixel/line locations and offsets easier.  This is not required and class time won't be used for installing this.  Install instructions are coming soon
   * apache -- The is installed as default for most UNIX (and Mac) systems.
   * spc_tool javascript libraries
   * updateDisplay.sh - script to convert SPC output to a web-accessible format
