Animated image from NASA on Mars

Process this on an old laptop and watch it expire.

Very nice

Is that your coming out? We all knew you were a Martian, but never dared to ask

Not really, I am actually an industrial robot.

Fantastic 

Nobody cross while you was shooting the camera 

[NoCforMe]

Nice. I would prefer real strings to synth, but whatever.

Are the raw video files publicly available from NASA?

Kewl stuff.

Looks great

I found and downloaded valles marineris nasa stl resources,need to find stl to obj converter

But i guess you need to video thru microscope the 3 tiles  if 3d printed?

David,

The source is a mosaic photo from the NASA website. The Mars explorers take multiple photos which are sent back to Earth and re-assembled by universities working with the JPL.

In order, I fix the photos first, then enlarge them if necessary, convert each photo to video via software then feed it through my video editing software to make adjustments to things like colour balance and fisheye level. Save the modified MP4 file then multipass it through ffmpeg to finally adjust the sharpness level. Video is one of those things where you need to be in practice and Mars photos make good practice.

The bigger the photo the better as it improves resolution but very large images can be a problem with software and you need a lot of memory. The recent ones I have done are finally downsized to 4k @ 60 fps to reduce any shuddering as it runs.

hutch,whatever image processing functions,would be a good candidate for 64bit ASM program,showcase,showing advantage of image processing function capable of allocate almost 64gb and process images/frames

Magnus,

About the only thing of mine used was the JpgTool that I have posted in the forum that I use to resize some of the NASA images as some of them are truly massive and do not always work in my ancient (circa 2001) MicroGrafx image editor app. Size them down to something readable then I can work on or repair the image for further animation conversion.

I have recently bought a Microsoft APP store app called "paint.net" which is a bit rudimentary but as a 64 bit app, it has no problems opening or cropping massive images.

I just used Photoshop touch on my old tablet convert colored heightmaps to greyscale heightmaps, might write such both ways conversion
So far I have made a 32bit asm console program to output heightmaps instead of a racetrack, a canyon tested import to 3d landscape program
I going to make a valles marineris animation
