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
