Re: Mars in 3d without glasses! - Look at this amazing image!

I did some experiments with Ulead Gif Animator and Spirit images, and I obtained this incredible image:

I obtained it from these images:

[http://www.lyle.org/mars/imagery/2P1340 … 67R1M1.JPG]right

I created this sequence:
1) left
2) right
3) left
4) right

1) is the same of 3) and 2) is the same of 4), BUT 1) and 2) are centered on point 2, 2) and 3) are centered on point 3, and 3) and 4) are ceneterd on point 4, and this three points are at different distances from the observer:

It looks like it will be quite hard to rech those hills!

Good one, cass! To be honest, i never really liked the red/blue stereos, this kind of stuff, OTOH is great!

Now some brave soul that wants to stitch *all* S&O images together, using 'overflows' so we get a "wild ride on the rovers..."? Bonus points if you do it in stereopairs!

(I'm serious, that would be *great*... there are some very short sequences of the rovers' pics made already and they're amazing... Don't think it'll be possible in stereo thoug, but you never know...)

cassioli - Great work!  That's a really clever approach.  It really brings out the depth in a way that I wouldn't have expected.  The best part is that this would also work for color photos which 3D glasses can't handle.

It sort of looks like old 1920's motion pictures.  I keep expecting one of those old silent movie dialog screens to pop up. :;):

Re: Mars in 3d without glasses! - Look at this amazing image!

cool! and yeah, there is a big little stealth crater lurking right in front of the rover.

Seems to be similar results to that "StereoMorpher" program? that program is a pain to use, but maybe thats how that does its work.

check out [http://www.geofusion.com/MarsDemo/]this software demo for navigable mars global sattelite flyovers, really cool!

Give me the images, I'll give you the movie! (I'll try, at least).
Looking for all suitable images in ~160 Sols is quite hard...

(I'm serious, that would be *great*... there are some very short sequences of the rovers' pics made already and they're amazing... Don't think it'll be possible in stereo thoug, but you never know...)

Starting with color images would be better, in my opinion.
Waiting for images links---

I have a good news and a bad news...

The good news is that I succesfully obtained an animated gif of Spirit's hills from Sol 8 to Sol 88.

The bad news is that it shows that those hills are so far, that they actually didn't change at all in their resolution in last 80 sols...

This is the animation, quite huge as it is not optimized (it does not worth the effort...)

I also tried to create a color 3d anim of Bonneville, but there are not enough color photos, so it is impossible!
