Great work, Alex! My attempt to make anaglyph from these images wasn't so good...
I think you should better explain how your "shape from stereo" program works, this is something completely different from photoclinometry you did in the past.
A couple of considerations about the project:
Based on technical data they report
here, scanner resolution is 14 bit/color; however, from raw image size they report, image depth is 15 bit for metric camera and 16bit/color for all other standards, except the 35mm negative which were scanned with only 8bit/channel resolution. About latter format, they say scan is already completed, so I wonder why they didn't publish yet.
I computed that total size of the final archive and the result is impressive: almost 70 TB of raw/TIFF images, the majority of wich will be from panoramic camera. If someone wants to download all this huge archive, consider that it will take almost one year of CONTINUOUS download at an average speed of 20 Mbit/sec! Even to download "small" PNG images (only 1/4 original size and 8 bit resolution) you'll need almost two months with a more realistic 10 Mbit/s, 8 hours/day connection...
