1.1 Notation
This documentation uses the "Committee on Data Management and
Computation" (CODMAC) data level numbering system. The data files
referred to in this document are considered "level 2" or "Edited Data"
(equivalent to NASA level 0). The data files are generated from
"level 1" or "Raw Data" which is the telemetry packets within the
project specific Standard Formatted Data Unit (SFDU) record.
1.2 Product and Transferal
Mechanism
The image data files and labels generated by MIPL software for Mars
Pathfinder will be transferred electronically to the IMP Team via the
File Exchange Interface (FEI). Each image file will be generated as a
VICAR labelled file. A separate, Planetary Data System (PDS) data
file will be associated with each image file, but delivered to or
generated by the IMP Team upon request. The image data files may be
generated on any one of the following platforms: Sun Sparcstation
running Solaris, Sun Sparcstation running SunOS, Silicon Graphics
running IRIX.
1.3 Image Data Processing
In order to understand the image processing and nomenclature of the
data products, it is useful to understand how the IMP camera operates.
Figure 1.1 shows a diagram of how an image is captured and retrieved
by the IMP camera. The main points to note are that the stereo images
are rotated differently on the CCD chip and that the flight software
operates on the CCD's coordinate frame not the images'. There are
also additional CCD elements that are used to help correct for dark
current and shutter effects.
After the IMP "exposes" the imaging portion of the CCD, the image is shifted into a storage area of the CCD where it will not accumulate more exposure (there is no mechanical shutter on the IMP). The data in the storage area is then moved into a shift register that will read out the image data and the CCD calibration elements. The full size of the image area the flight software can process is a 256 by 256 area. In order to minimize border effects between different imaging components (left, right and dark pixel regions), only 248 lines are normally processed.
This diagram shows the basic structure of the IMP camera head and how a scene is imaged. Various components are show for reference purposes. This diagram is not even close to engineering specifications, and some liberties have been take regarding the geometry of some of the components.The data packaged in the data files will be decoded, decompressed IMP image data in single frame form as an Experiment Data Record (EDR). The single frame form of a standard image data file has the maximum dimensions of 256 lines by 256 samples. The other image data files and their data sizes are listed in Table 1.1. Single image frames can be mosaicked to produce a larger image. The VICAR software used to generate the image data set products is described in Table 1.2.
As mentioned, the IMP commands use CCD coordinates, while the EDR refers to image coordinates. All EDR images are annotated with sub-framing information (even for full frame images). Where Line and Sample '1' are in the upper left corner of a rotated image (up is pointing up, not to a side). The nominal image frame of the IMP is a subframe starting at line 3 and sample 1, and consisting of 248 lines of 256 samples. The command system for the IMP utilizes the offset for this nominal frame as the starting point for any commanded subframe. Hence a subframe defined to start at image line 10, will actually start at image line 13 (nominal plus subframe offset). This allows for unexpected results if a commanded subframe defines the number of lines greater than the actual number of CCD lines, (i.e., nominal_offset + subframe_offset + number_of_lines can be greater than 256). This did occur on a number of observations.
| Image Type | Image Size lines x samples | Pixel Size (bits) | Description |
| Image Data regular observations |
256 x 256 | 16 | Image data is unsigned and rotated from the way it is generated in the camera. Right images have been rotated counter-clockwise, left images have been rotated clockwise. |
| Dark Strip | 256 x 8 | 16 | Calibration data retrieved from a covered area of the CCD. |
| Null Strip | 256 x 4 | 16 | Calibration data retrieved from the readout register of the IMP camera. |
| Flat Field special observations used for calibration |
256 x 256 | 16 | Flat Field data is unsigned and rotated from the way it is generated in the camera. Right images have been rotated counter-clockwise, left images have been rotated clockwise. |
| Dark Field Also referred to as Dark Current; special observations used for calibration |
256 x 256 | 16 | Dark Field data is unsigned and rotated from the way it is generated in the camera. Right images have been rotated counter-clockwise, left images have been rotated clockwise. |
| Histogram | 1 x 4096 | 16 | Histogram data contains a 4096 element histogram table. Each sample corresponds to the count of Dn values in the target image. |
| Summed | 2 x 256 | 32 | All rows and columns are summed. The first record is the result of the row summing where each sample is the sum of all the pixels from the corresponding row. The second record is the result of column summing. |
NOTE: Due to on-board JPEG compression, it is possible to generate Dn values greater than 4095 (the largest value the camera electronics can generate). This is due to the lossy compression algorithm of the JPEG. The label item ERROR_PIXELS will identify the number of pixels that are greater than the nominal 4095 maximum.
| Application | Description |
| MPFTELEMPROC | Fetches the image Standard Formatted Data Unit (SFDU) records from the Telemetry Delivery Subsystem (TDS), and reconstructs the image file from the telemetry data. If a version of this image exisits in the Working Mission Storage (WMS), the image data is compared to the WMS version. If the new version has more data than the existing version, it replaces the WMS version. This application produces a VICAR image file with a subset of descriptive label items. It also accesses the catalog and SPICE kernels to supplement the ancillary image information from the telemetry data. |
| MPFCAT2LAB | Updates the VICAR label based on information stored in the MIPL/MPF catalog. |
| MPFCAHV | Updates the label of an uncorrected image to contain a corrected CAHV camera model. The program requires an accurate quaternion to generate proper results. |
| MPF_IMP_CHIP | Creates an index page of 16 IMP images on one 8 by 10 quick-look print. Each image is annotated with observation identification, timing, pointing, compression and filter information. This same program is capable of generating a systematic film product that also includes a standard 16 step gray wedge. |
| MPFMAP | Produces polar coordinate mosaics (azimuth versus elevation) from uncorrected input images using a CAHVOR camera model. |
| MPFMOS | Produces pinhole camera mosaics using uncorrected input images and a CAHVOR camera model. |
| MPFNAV | Generates an updated azimuth and elevation based on comparison with existing image data that can be directly compared. |
| MPFPDSLBL | Converts the VICAR EDR into a PDS compliant labelled image file. |
| MPFVIEW | Calculates the distance to selectable points in a stereo image data set. |
1.4 Coordinate System
Components
The following paragraphs discuss the various types of coordinate
system components. In some cases the project definitions of the
coordinate systems are modified to a more standard use.
1.4.1 Coordinate
Frames
The MPF Project defined six different coordinate systems to identify
spacecraft origin during the different mission phases (See Mars
Pathfinder AIM Phasing and Coordinate Frame Document, reference 7). The following paragraphs discuss the
four coordinate systems and components used by EDR generation for
supporting surface operation.
NOTE: For the identified coordinate systems, the EDR SIS and the EDR data files differ from the project definitions in that the Z-axis is positive in the "up" direction (for surface operations).In all coordinate frames, the pointing is based on the returned science data packets. There are a number of methods used to calculate the pointing of the IMP, each with its own meaning. The "METHOD" label items (e.g., INSTRUMENT_AZIMUTH_METHOD) should be checked to identify what was used. The default method is to use the telemetry values for the motor steps and calculate the pointing using a conversion algorithm, yielding bore-site pointing values.
1.4.1.1 Lander Frame
The Lander Frame, identified as the L Frame, is a coordinate system
that is fixed to the geometry of the lander. Most of the pointing
information identified in the IMP EDR label items references this
coordinate system.
1.4.1.2 IMP Frame
The IMP Frame is oriented such that all of the axes are collinear to
the Lander Frame. The origin of the IMP Frame is offset from the
Lander frame (See the MPF AIM Phasing document for the correct offset
distances).
NOTE: For the purpose of identifying camera pointing, this document treats the Lander and IMP Frames as identical. When commanding the pointing to a known object, the pointing vectors from the origins of the two coordinate systems will NOT be parallel, but converge at the object, basically an exaggerated parallax effect. See Figure 1.2. for a diagram showing the angles between the origins of collinear coordinate systems and an object.
This diagram shows the pointing angles from the different reference frames if the target of the pointing is a known object. The gimbal origin is also shown in this diagram to show the true ramifications of the pointing problems. The spacecraft coordinate systems and their origin offsets are not accurately represented; however the concept is.NOTE: The orientation of the Z-Axis in this drawing reflects the usage in this document and not the Project defined meaning.
1.4.1.3 Local Level Frame
The Local Level Frame, identified as the M Frame, shares the same origin as the Lander Frame. The orientation of the coordinate frame is defined relative to the Mars areocentric coordinate system.
1.4.1.4 Mars Surface Fixed
Frame
The Mars Surface Fixed Frame, identified as MFX Frame, is oriented
such that all of the axes are collinear to the Local Level Frame.
Originally the origin of the MFX is identical to the M Frame, but can
be offset due to pedal movement, air-bag settling or other
translational effects.
NOTE: For the purpose of identifying camera pointing, this document treates the Local Level and Mars Surface Fixed Frames as identical. This assumption has similar parallax problems as treating the IMP- and L-Frame pointing as identical. However, the origin offset between the Local Level and Mars Surface Fixed frames is not anticipated to be as large, reducing the parallax effect.
1.4.2 Planetocentric
Center normal coordinate system. For Pathfinder, this is based on the
gravitational vector derived from the lander's accellerometers.
1.4.3 Quaternion
The quaternion is the coordinate transform or rotation between the
Lander Frame and the Local Level Frame. The VICAR label defines the
quaternion using the NAIF notation of the cosine of the rotation angle
followed by the sine of the rotation angle multipled by each component
of the unit vector of the axis of rotation.
The following brief excerpt discussing quaternions was taken from the NAIF distributed SPICELIB documentation:
Quaternions are four dimensional vectors, on which a particular kind of arithmetic is defined. The quaternions that have norm equal to 1 are called 'unit quaternions'. Unit quaternions may be associated with rotations in the following way: if a rotation R has unit vector n = (n1, n2, n3) as an axis and w as a rotation angle, then we represent R by
Q = ( cos(w/2), sin(w/2) n1, sin(w/2) n2, sin(w/2) n3 )As you might suspect, this association is not unique: substituting (w + 2*pi) for w, we see that -Q is also a representation for R. If we choose the rotation axis and angle of R so that the angle lies in [0, pi], then there is a unique quaternion representing R, except in the case where R is a rotation by pi radians.The main interest of quaternion multiplication is that we can actually carry out composition of rotations using the multiplication defined on the quaternions. If quaternions Q1 and Q2 represent rotations R1 and R2, then Q2*Q1 represents R2(R1). So the mapping from unit quaternions to rotations is a group homomorphism, where the 'multiplication' operation on the rotations is functional composition.
2.0 DETAILED SPECIFICATION
The following section describes in greater detail the files to be received by the IMP Team.
2.1 Structure and Organization
Overview
For each archived IMP image, one file is created, an image data file
with an attached PDS label. This file constitutes a set of data to be
managed and archived by MIPL as one unit.
The image data will be a single image frame captured by the IMP camera . The maximum size of the image frame is 256 lines by 256 samples, however, the nominal image frame size is 248 lines by 256 samples. The construction of the IMP camera created an area of overlap between the right and left image views and the elmination of 8 lines from each removes this artifact.
2.1.1 MIPL Local Image
File
An image file consists of two major parts: the image header, which
describes many aspects of the image, and the image area, which
contains the actual image data. The image header and image area are
stored as a standard VICAR image. Additional information about the
basic VICAR image structure and content is described in the "VICAR
File Format" document (reference 4). The line and
sample numbering of the image data starts with an origin of (1,1) at
the upper left of the image with increasing values both to the right
and down. See figure 2.1 for a graphical
representation of a nominal IMP EDR.
This figure identifies the basic structure of the VICAR IMP EDR data file. There is an ASCII label at the beginning of the file followed by the image data and an optional ancillary VICAR label in cases where not enough space was allocated for the label at the beginning of the file.
2.1.2 PDS Archived Label File
Every archived image data file contains a PDS label. This label conforms to the Planetary Data System standard for ancillary data management. The label contains information regarding the observation which produced the image. This observation information includes general descriptors such as observation sequence name and time tags of the start of image acquisition, camera and spacecraft state parameters, data compression information, viewing and lighting geometry, spacecraft position and camera pointing, image dimensions, and processing history. This PDS labelled image is the IMP Team defined standard for transferring data between home institutions.The PDS label is an object-oriented file; the object to which the label refers is denoted by a statement of the form:
^object = locationin which the carat character '^' (also called a pointer in this context) indicates that the object starts at the given location. In an attached label, the location denotes the starting record or byte. For example:
^IMAGE = 3indicates that the IMAGE object begins at record 3 of the file.
All labels contain 80-byte fixed-length records, with a carriage return character (ASCII 13) in the 79th byte and a line feed character (ASCII 10) in the 80th byte. This allows the files to be read by the HFS, MacOS, DOS, OS2, UNIX, and VMS operating systems. The labels are padded with NULL characters to form an integral number of records equal in length to the data file records.
Figure 2.2 is a template of the IMP EDR PDS label. See Appendix A for detailed definitions and formatting information for the label items. Also, note that label item values which are capitalized or those values enclosed in quotes but not italicized represent label item values to be written verbatim.
Text inside broken brackets, '<' and '>', identify the type of data that is valid for a label value.

2.2 File Naming Conventions
The following naming convention standard for IMP image data files is to be maintained by MIPL as a means of files management.
2.2.1 VICAR Image Data File
Names
For all data files stored in the MIPL Working Mission Storage (WMS),
the filenames will be constructed with five parts as shown below in
Figure 2.3.
Instrument Identifier - The instrument identifier will always be the lowercase letter 'i', representing an EDR from the IMP camera.Time Reference Number - The time reference number will be the 10-digit Spacecraft Clock Start Count, as described in Appendix A. The Spacecraft Clock Start Count is the same for left, right, null strip and dark strip images.
Frame Identifier - The frame identifier will be a one character letter, 'l', 'r', 's', or 'n', referring to an image generated from the left, right, dark or null IMP frame respectively.
File Extension - The file extension is a three character mnemonic. Table 2.1 shows the possible file extensions and the data files they represent.
Table 2.1. - File Extensions and Data File Types
Data File Types File Extension Image .img Dark Strip .str Null Strip .nul Flat Field .flt Dark Current .drk Histogram .hst Summed .sum Image Reference Number - Finally, the image reference number is the 10-digit Image ID appended onto the file extension. The reference number is procedurally divided into three parts, the sequence ID, version and image ID. The sequence ID is the most significant 4 digits, the version the middle two digits and the image ID the least significant 4 digits.
2.2.2 PDS Data File Names
The PDS data filenames will be constructed with four of the five VICAR image data filename components as shown below in Figure 2.4.
Instrument Identifier - The instrument identifier will be the uppercase letter 'I'.Time Reference Number - The time reference number will be the least significant 6-digits of the Spacecraft Clock Start Count (the 4 most significant digits will be used as part of the directory hierarchy storing the image files).
Frame Identifier - The frame identifier will be a one character letter, 'L', 'R', 'S', or 'N', referring to an image generated from the left, right, dark or null IMP frame respectively.
File Extension - Finally, the file extension will be one of seven three-character mnemonics shown in Table 2.1 for the VICAR Image File Extensions (except in uppercase).
APPENDIX A
IMP PDS/VICAR EDR Label Items
IMP PDS/VICAR EDR Label Items
A.1 IMP PDS/VICAR EDR Label Items
The following pages list alphabetically the label items which are contained in the PDS attached and VICAR labels associated with each image file. The list is broken into three sections. The first section contains the label items that will be in every image file. The second section defines the additional label items that are present in the PDS distributed image files. The third section defines the label items that will be in a mosaicked VICAR image file.
