MAGELLAN IMAGES
June 19, 1991
===================
I've placed 17 more Magellan images at the Ames SPACE archives, bringing
the Magellan total to 36 images. These new images are in VICAR format which is
the format used at the Image Processing Lab (MIPL) at JPL. The images are
obtainable via anonymous ftp from ames.arc.nasa.gov (128.102.18.3), and are in
the pub/SPACE/VICAR directory. All of the Magellan images I've put at the
Ames site are public release images from the Magellan project, and are in the
public domain and can be freely distributed. These new images are *not* on the
first Magellan CDROM released earlier this year.
The new Magellan files and their sizes are:
alcott.img 1,049,600 bytes
ammavaru.img 1,312,000 bytes
arachcom.img 971,880 bytes
barton.img 2,626,020 bytes
flows.img 3,616,434 bytes
golubnew.img 1,025,145 bytes
golubold.img 1,025,145 bytes
gulamons.img 914,328 bytes
hestia.img 1,422,603 bytes
lakshmif.img 822,584 bytes
mead.img 1,312,000 bytes
navka.img 2,521,800 bytes
ovda.img 1,180,310 bytes
pandora.img 918,528 bytes
sifflows.img 621,600 bytes
test25pvo.img 1,006,304 bytes
test25rm.img 1,006,304 bytes
All of the VICAR images have a corresponding caption files (with a .txt
extension) which contains detailed descriptions of the image. Make sure
you are in binary mode when transferring the image files, and in ASCII mode
when transferring the txt files.
The VICAR images can be viewed on an IBM PC computer with the IMDISP
program stored in a zip file called imdisp56.zip, located in the
pub/SPACE/SOFTWARE directory, at the same Ames site. IMDISP is the same
program distributed with the Voyager and Magellan CDROMs. Since I am one of
the programmers for IMDISP, I would welcome any feedback on IMDISP, including
any problems encountered with its use or suggestions on improving the program.
A new version of IMDISP will be released in a about a couple of weeks; I'll
post an an announcement when it is ready.

On convex.com [130.168.1.1] can be found pub/xl.3.0.1.patches.Z, which is
a compressed shar archive containing a couple of new files and some patches
to xloadimage version 3.0.1. The patches are largely for speed. The new
files allow xloadimage to view 8-bit VICAR and PDS files. Both the Huffman-
encoded and unencoded variants of the latter are handled. These Magellan
images are examples of VICAR. The files on the Voyager CD-ROMS are examples
of both variants of PDS.
