If you go to http://www.google.com/mars/about.html you will find out about where this
data comes from:
- Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.
- Infrared images from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on NASA's Mars
Odyssey spacecraft.
I'm currently helping a student process the raw data from these missions. I download
the data and the processing software runs on Linux. Even better, Linux is the
development and main platform for doing this stuff. I can take about 45 minutes to
process a batch of data and eventually end up with tiff files about 80-200 MBytes in
size using a dual xeon with lots of ram. She has 600 images to do.
The interface is a curses application and in fact I was wondering last night if I can
work out someway to automatically generate a web-based app from the curses app i.e.
have a perl cgi app that passes its commands to an an instance of the curses app, the
output of the curses screen being transformed into a html form to the user.
This would enable the student to run the software via aweb interface without needing
a login to the Linux processing machine.
