HTTP:: Computer System to Recreate Mars in 3D
--------
Experts at the Technical University of Prague Center for Machine Perception, under the direction of scientist Dr. Michal Havlena, have recently announced the development of a new computer system, capable of reproducing the Red Planet in 3D detail within minutes. The platform can also be fed images collected by exploration rovers such as the MER components or MRO, and it immediately integrates them into the larger view of things, its creators reveal. The instrument was unveiled at the European Planetary Science Congress, held in Potsdam, Germany, AlphaGalileo reports. “The feeling of ‘being right there’ will give scientists a much better understanding of the images. The only input we need are the captured raw images and the internal camera calibration. After minutes of computation on a standard PC, a three dimensional model of the captured scene is obtained,†Dr. Havlena told participants at the conference. The system, he said, appeared as a help tool for experts w!
ho had to deal with impressive amounts of raw data coming in from all the Martian missions at the moment. At this point, all of these pieces of information are processed manually, and this process consumes a lot of time and resources. Instead of doing repetitive tasks, experts who are now caught up in this work could instead d...
