Stamp Layer

From JMARS Wiki

The Stamp Layer displays outlines of images taken by the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), Mars Orbital Camera (MOC), High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), Context Camera (CTX), High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) and the Viking orbiter cameras. The advantage of the stamp layer is that users can see where previous images have been taken and then load only the images they want to examine into JMARS, which is considerably faster than loading the global graphical maps at the same resolution. The interfaces for each of these cameras is slightly different, so instrument-specific instructions are given on the following pages.

NOTE: The stamp layer documentation is being updated. Thank you for your patience as we bring this information up-to-date with the soon-to-be-released version of JMARS.

[edit] Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) Stamp Layer

The THEMIS Stamp Layer will display stamps for all of the observations taken by the THEMIS camera, both VIS and IR. Since the THEMIS dataset is so large, there are numerous search parameters that allow users to retrieve stamps for only the types of observation they are interested in.

[edit] Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) Stamp Layer

The MOC Stamp Layer will display stamps for all of the images taken by the Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) aboard Mars Global Surveyor. While the search interface is similar to the THEMIS Stamp Layer, there are changes that allow users to search for images by the many parameters associated with MOC images.

[edit] Viking Camera Stamp Layer

The Viking Camera Stamp Layer will display stamps for all the observations made by the visible camera on the Viking 1 & 2 orbiters. The search interface is similar to the THEMIS Stamp Layer, but there are changes that allow users to search for images by the many parameters associated with Viking camera images.
