msi2isis

This program will import raw images, acquired from the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous - Shoemaker (NEAR Shoemaker) mission's Multispectral Imager (MSI) instrument, to ISIS3 data file format. The raw image must be in FITS (Flexible Image Transport) format and have a PDS label file that points to the location of the FITS image. You must input either the label file or the FITS file for the "TO" input parameter. Please note if the FITS file is given, the label file must exist in the same directory or the program will throw an error. This program will verify that the input files are valid by checking the following label keyword values. An error will be thrown if any of these criteria are not met.

• INSTRUMENT_ID = MSI
• LINE_SAMPLES = 537
• LINES = 244
• SAMPLE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION = RIGHT
• LINE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION = UP

The output cube- successfully imported into ISIS3 goes through the following processes:

• Convert the raw FITS image data to an ISIS3 Cube.
• Save the labels from the input PDS label file to the output ISIS3 Cube. Note that FITS labels are not transferred.
• Enlarge the image from 537 samples x 244 lines to 537 x 412 using the user-specified interpolation algorithm. Defaults to cubic convolution.
• Flip the image vertically, i.e. across the horizontal axis.
• Trim 33 pixels from the top, bottom, left and right sides. These pixels along the borders will be set to nulls.

Description

Name of the input NEAR MSI image file to be imported into ISIS3 format. You may enter the label or the image file. If the image file is given, the program will search in the same directory for a label file with the same base name as the image file base name.

Type	filename

Description

Name of the ISIS3 output cube file that has been imported, enlarged, flipped, and trimmed.

Type	cube
File Mode	output
Filter	*.cub

Description

This is the type of interpolation to be performed on the input when the image is enlarged from 537 samples by 244 lines to 537 samples by 412 lines.

Type	string
Default	CUBICCONVOLUTION
Option List:	Option Brief Description CUBICCONVOLUTION Cubic Convolution interpolation Each output pixel is set to the value calculated by a cubic convolution interpolation of the calculated input pixel. NEARESTNEIGHBOR Nearest Neighbor Each output pixel is set to the pixel nearest the calculated input pixel. BILINEAR Bi-Linear interpolation Each output pixel is set to the value calculated by a bi-linear interpolation of the calculated input pixel.

This example shows how to import an MSI fits file to the ISIS3 cube format using the label file.
