make_sumfiles

Compiled by KD

Description

In general, make_sumfiles ingests images into SPC. It takes in, as a standard input, the name and camera position of the images from make_sumfiles.in. It will convert the image into the <filename>.DAT format in IMAGEFILES. It will also generate <filename>.SUM in SUMFILES and <filename>.NOM in NOMINALS. Finally, it will append the image name onto PICTLIST.TXT.

In other words, make_sumfiles builds the sumfiles and nominals. The user should know that all the vectors in the sumfiles and nominals are in a body fixed frame with the origin at the center of the target body (the origin might be off a little bit, which means shift will have to be used eventually). Furthermore, for make_sumfiles to work, the ck and spk kernel names in make_sumfiles.txt must cover the time span of all the images being ingested.

This program is non-standard. While the goal is to make a single version that does it all, each mission has a different image format. This program frequently has different versions for different missions to get the data in a form usable by SPC.
