Spirit color wheel not being used?
"Beau Webber" wrote in message om... It has been worying me for some time that there appear to be no identical red/green/blue filters for the left and right cameras - how does one get full colour stereo pictures - perhaps interpolation or perhaps it is approximate ? anyone know ? "Three of the filters on the left Pancams were chosen to sample wavelengths close to the R, G, and B response of the human photopic function, so that true color images could be generated of the martian surface scenery using methods similar to those outlined by Maki et al. (1999). The left plus right pairs of red and blue filters also provide multispectral stereo imaging capability, with the red pair optimized for stereo imaging of high contrast Mars scenes, and the blue pair providing an alternative method at a wavelength where topography is hypothesized to provide a larger source of scene contrast variations (e.g., Kirk et al., 1999)." "Two filters, near 440 and 750 nm, are redundant in the left and right Pancams. This provides stereo imaging capability in two colors, as well as redundancy for generating pseudo-true color images in the right Pancam, in the event of a left Pancam failure." Table 4.
