DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview
  =================
    A stereo anaglyph is a method of displaying stereo imagery quickly
    and conveniently using conventional display technology (no special
    hardware) and red/blue glasses. This is done by displaying the left
    eye of the stereo pair in the red channel, and displaying the right
    eye in the green and blue channels. An anaglyph data product simply
    captures that into a single 3-band color image, which can be
    displayed using any standard image display program with no knowledge
    that it is a stereo image. The red (first) band contains the left
    eye image, while the green and blue (second and third) bands each
    contain the right eye image (so the right image is duplicated in the
    file).

    The Anaglyph method can also apply to multi-frame mosaic products.
    MIPL-generated mosaic Anaglyphs occasionally required some subtle
    pixel-shifting of the right eye mosaic data to improve the stereo
    effects. Mosaic Anaglyph products are distinguishable in the Mosaic
    RDR filename convention.


  Processing
  ==========
    Anaglyphs are created manually from CAHV linearized Full Framed
    (FFL) stereo pair EDRs or mosaics.  Often times the images are
    stretched prior to creating the anaglyph.  After stretching, the
    images are converted to a VICAR cube, which creates a single
    multi-band image. The final step involves adding the PDS label.


  Data
  ====
    The RDR data product is comprised of radiometrically decalibrated
    and/or camera model corrected and/or geometrically altered versions
    of the raw camera data, in both single and multi-frame (mosaic)
    form. Most RDR data products will have PDS labels, or if generated
    by MIPL (OPGS), dual PDS/VICAR labels. Non-labeled RDRs include the
    Terrain products (Mesh and Wedge).


  Software
  ========
    The MIPL Mars Program Suite was used to generate these RDRs.


  Media/Format
  ============
    The data set will initially be delivered and kept online.  Upon
    Mission completion, the Microscopic Imager Operations RDRs will be
    delivered to PDS on DVD.
