Wonderful images and a great tribute.
You should consider adding MSSS (Malin Space Science Systems) to the credit line. TTT |

Gorgeous stuff. It should be in a real art gallery. At a minimum it deserves a special web page.

No idea how you DO that, just glad you do.
You're the Master when it comes to those colourisations, without a doubt... -------------------- |

Thank you all so very much for the overwhelming feedback
I really wish I could spent more time with the imaging work and the UMSF forum recently ... It should be in a real art gallery. At a minimum it deserves a special web page. Mike Yes I've lways been thinking about a dedicated web page ... but unfortunately haven't really found the time because I put literally every free minute of spare time in the work on the images (and writing the supporting software tools ) themselves so that this leaves no more ressources for the administrative tasks of maintaing the web site stuff QUOTE Wonderful images and a great tribute. You should consider adding MSSS (Malin Space Science Systems) to the credit line. TTT Done. Thanks for the hint (I accidentally used the credit template for the MER images |

In Korean for Nirgal: hwansanchogida!!! (Fantastic!!!) A truly inspiring and fitting tribute; may she enjoy her well-deserved rest.

Merci Beaucoup et 고마와요 QUOTE No idea how you DO that, just glad you do. QUOTE I'm curious to see how you do to process this pictures Well actually there is no single recipe for how I do the processing of the images. This is because the problem of coloring a single-channel b/w image is, unfortunately, an inherently "ill posed" task that does not have a unique solution (obviously because for each grey tone (luma component) there are many different possible color values (chroma component). So, basically, what I'm trying to do is to work with many pre-chosen palettes of color hues collected from "real" true color composite photographs of areas with similar surface composition etc. and try to assign color hue ranges to grey-scale ranges. However, this process involves a great part of guessing, tweaking, trial and error and last not least the support of a collection of special software tools that I wrote (partly for fun when trying to play with new image processing algorithms based on neural networks and various 3D color space transformations ) for example special adaptive brushes that help me with fine-selecting & masking parts of the images by automatically following contoures/edges and so on. All in all its tedious but geat fun and relxation to work with those colors & images: it always reminds me of the joy I had as a child when coloring pictures in the painting book |
