+ SCOPE Pictures from RUDAK Testing in Orlando +

+
+
+

+ First-Ever 800x600 Images via RUDAK +

+ +These pictures were taken on Sunday, 14 March 1999, in Orlando at the Phase-3D +lab. There was a mirror propped up on top of the satellite over the camera +lenses to give us a view of something other than the ceiling. The exposure +times were 4 seconds, and these were taken with SCOPE B. +

+The people in picture 4 are Chuck Green N0ADI on the left, and John Conner +WD0FHG on the right. Picture 5 has Bdale Garbee N3EUA on the left, and John +Conner WD0FHG on the right. +

+The funny angle and I think some of the visual artifacts are due to the cheap +mirror we used to take horizontal pictures with the cameras facing straight +up, and to the large number of reflecting surfaces nearby. +

+First, the BMP "Quick Pics". These are just as downloaded from RUDAK: +

+ +Here are the raw data files from the image buffers for each: + + +Each of the raw files was passed through the netpbm tool rawtopgm, which +generated a portable graymap. This file differs from the raw file only by +the inclusion of a header, so I won't bother with those files here. The three +graymaps were combined to a color image using the netpbm tool rgb3toppm, which +produced a .ppm file for each picture: + + + +These files were loaded into the GIMP, rotated or flipped (I don't recall +which), and then written out as jpeg files with 100% quality: + + +
+

+ Exposure Comparisons +

+These pictures show the behaviour of SCOPE A. All were taken with the same +lighing in the cleanroom, and are pictures of the ceiling. The flourescent +lights were on, so the room was fairly bright. The lighting was essentially +the same as for the pictures taken above. They seem dark to me. + + +This set was taken on Sunday early afternoon with SCOPE A. They are mostly +black. I think this was a 4-second exposure of the ceiling. +

+We switched over to SCOPE B +after this so that we could focus on getting full-resolution picutres out of +the camera, and did not get time to take another full-res picture with SCOPE +A. +

+I include these files mostly in the hope that they might provide some +information, not because I'm convicned that they mean anything. + +
