Happy HUGE 3D Data Release Thursday! 4800+ new @USGS_AstroGeo DTMs have just gone live at AreoBrowser.com! This brings the total number of #3D #Mars slices you can view on mobile, desktop, or in #AR quicklook on #iOS, to over 7000 🛰️⛰️🤯

White Light Reference for Machine Learning. Meet our inhouse tech Doggo "Rolo". "More Doggo than Doggo" Since July we've been redesigning our scanning pipeline to work with the new 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering method from Inria. github.com/graphdeco-inria/g… IR's AeonX capture system has been designed to capture "Spatial" memories for the future. We've built on a custom version of Inria's Sibr viewer to handle the playback of our multiple processed 4D frames. GS has reignited our passion for 3D/4D scanning. Thank you to the team at @Inria More content to come.. #guassiansplatting #ir #aeonx #4d #motionscanning #inria #ximea #idatronic #spatial #youth83

I lost my job yesterday. Still processing & trying to figure out next steps, but if you or anyone you know has opportunities for a cartographer & data visualizer with expertise in remote sensing data, please get in touch.

Clouds from above... ☁ Photos of pink and gold clouds hanging over oceans around the world were captured as the space station orbited roughly 260 miles overhead. More of Earth from space: flic.kr/s/aHsmACYoYM

Next quick #visionOS test - spheres representing cam pos + target vec for (nearly) every image Perseverance took on Sol 134! Red = MCZ, green = NAVCAM, blue = HAZCAM & yellow = SUPERCAM. The fridge is just a fridge... 📷⛰️ #PleaseExcuseMyTerribleDebugScenes

Wahoo! Image plane code in and (very slow but kind of) working! Any actual image display would be handled in a shader, so this is purely for context. But now I can (try to) start merging planes to make a simplified 3D visualisation of available data for this particular sol 👍

Ok I'll trade you, here's all the stunning JWST images, zoomable in context of the sky: web.wwtassets.org/specials/2…

Hello you lovely lot! This month's fantastic new @HiRISE-based #Mars DTMs are now live over at AreoBrowser.com! Fun fact: according to a terrible python script I just wrote, the 979 available @HiRISE DTMs now cover ~114,000 (often overlapping) km²! 🛰️⛰️👍

Second #VisionPro test of the day - I now have all 2227 @HiRISE/HRSC (@DLR_en) #Mars DTMs loading in from the web! The quality progressively improves to make sure something hits the screen ASAP 🛰️⛰️ #visionOS #PleaseIgnoreTheOccasionalGeometrySpike

Another quick #visionOS test, this time loading up a @USGS_AstroGeo Jezero Crater DTM and tracking the path of @NASAPersevere as it travels 19km over 846 sols! #PleaseExcuseMyTerriblePathRendering

And here's @MarsCuriosity's 3878 sol-long journey on top of a @HiRISE DTM. Creating the growing 3D path took a little longer than expected (my kingdom for an 'auto-calculate normals/tangents/bitangents' method) but it's good enough for now 👍

Quick #visionOS procedural geometry test - textured @HiRISE #Mars DTMs parsing/loading on the fly in the simulator! Now it's on to figuring out a spatial UI for all that lovely @NASAPersevere data! 🤔 #PleaseExcuseMyTerribleTestUI

The biggest hurdle here was (weirdly) the greyscale texture loading. It'd be great to be able apply a greyscale texture without needing to convert to RGB first, but TextureResource.Semantic didn't seem to help. To Feedback Assistant I go! 👍

Hello you wonderful people 👋 I've just had an upcoming project fall through, so if you know anyone who needs a freelance VFX-pipeline/iOS/web/space-data dev through July, feel free to point them my way. Thanks! 🧑‍💻

What a cool way to explore USGS Astrogeology DTMs of Mars! There's so much to explore on the Red Planet 🤩
