RO-C-OSIWAC-3-ESC2-67PCHURYUMOV-M14-V1.0
Processing
==========
The PDS images in this data set were generated using the
OSIRIS telemetry processing facility at the Max Planck
Institute for Solarsystem Research from the raw telemetry
stream sent down from the rosetta spacecraft. The decoded
telemetry stream was initially saved as Level 1 PDS images
(raw telemetry header and raw image data). These raw Level 1
image files were then passed through a level 1 to level 2
processing pipeline. This pipeline converts the raw telemetry
header into calibrated physical values and appends additional
information collected from external data sources (SPICE,
sequence library ...)
Given that the calibration database is considered a single
product even if it can be used separately to calibrate images
from the NAC and the WAC, it is delivered in its entirety on
the NAC and WAC datasets.
Data
====
CCD Images
----------
The OSIRIS images are stored as PDS images (meaning data files
with embedded label where the image data is stored using an
'IMAGE' PDS object. The raw image data is stored using a 16 bit
unsigned integer low endian format.
The pixel value 0 is used to indicate missing data (lost packets).
Compression
-----------
The OSIRIS flight software has the capability to compress the
image data before transmission to ground using a number of
compression algorithms and filtering schemes.
OSIRIS implements a data segmentation scheme to decrease
sensitivity to data loss during transmission. Each image is
separated into blocks with a maximum size of 512x512 pixels.
Each of these blocks are processed and compressed individually.
All information about compression and post-processing is located
in the SR_COMPRESSION group in the OSIRIS image headers. Each
member of this group is a vector containg a data entry for each
image segment used to generate the final image. The pixel
coordinates of the segmentation boundaries can be found using
the SEGMENT_[X,Y,W,H] fields.
The name of the algorithm used to encode the image data is located
in the ENCODING field. The following encoding algorithms are supported:
NONE - No Compression
SPIHT_D24 - Early implementation of the SPIHT algorithm
that divided all data values by 24 before
encoding
SPIHT_LIFT - SPIHT compression with LIFT filtering
SPIHT_TAP - SPIHT compression with TAP filtering
SQRT_16to8 - Squarerooting followied by 16 to 8 bit
reduction
PACK9BIT - 16 to 9 bit truncation
The effective compression ratio achieved by the encoder is
stored in the COMPRESSION_RATIO member.
If the encoding step was performed without information loss
then the LOSSLESS_FLAG member is TRUE else FALSE. Please note
that LOSSLESS_FLAG only refers to the encoding step.
LOSSLESS_FLAG can be TRUE even is a lossy filtering step has
been performed.
OSIRIS can also perform a pixel averaging step. The pixel
averaging box size can be found in the PIXEL_AVERAGING_WIDTH
and PIXEL_AVERAGING_HEIGHT members.
To increase the performance of the SPIHT compressor OSIRIS
implements a number of optional pre encoding filtering steps.
The following filtering are possible:
1. A Gauss 5x5 convolution smooth filter
2. A Sqrt filtering step performing the transformation
I_Out = sqrt(I * gain)
The type of gauss smooth filter used can be found in
SMOOTH_FILTER_ID with the values
'NONE'
'CONVOL_KERNEL_1' (0.5 FWHM)
'CONVOL_KERNEL_2' (0.8 FWHM)
'CONVOL_KERNEL_3' (1.0 FWHM)
If the sqrt filter has been used the SQRT_FILTER_FLAG is set to
TRUE and the used gain value is stored in the SQRT_FILTER_GAIN
field.
Target Name and Description
---------------------------
The TARGET_NAME and TARGET_TYPE keywords in the data labels are
automatically set by the processing software using the following
hierarchal rules:
1. The closest solar system object within 1 deg of the camera
boresight (using a selected database of allowed targets).
All solar system objects are given using a SPICE compatible
object name.
2. Any deep sky within 1 deg of the camera boresight (using
a selected database of allowed targets).
3. A number of special images which are acquired with the
camera front door closed are named:
Name Type Description
---------------------------------------------------
CHECKOUT N/A Shutter Test Images
CALIBRATION CALIBRATION Internal reference flatfield
DARK CALIBRATION Dark/Bias current measurement
4. TARGET_NAME = UNK if no object was found matching the
above criteria.
Displaying the OSIRIS images
----------------------------
The OSIRIS images are stored using the following format
-----------------
| header |
-----------------
|pixel (0,0) |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| pixel(w,h)|
-----------------
this structure means that the image (as is typical for PDS
images) needs to be vertically flipped to be correctly
displayed on a typical computer screen.
On top of this the images from the narrow angle camera requires
a horizontal flip to be shown with in the same geometry as the
wide angle camera images.
To summarize:
OSINAC images: flip horizontally + flip vertically
OSIWAC images: flip vertically
Using these transformations the x-image axis is roughly aligned
with the spacecraft y axis and the y-image axis is roughly
aligned with the spacecraft x-axis.
File Naming Convention
----------------------
The OSIRIS image files use the following filenaming convention:
CYYYYMMDDTHHMMSSUUUFFLIFAB.IMG
where:
C is either N NAC (narrow angle camera)
W NAC (wide angle camera)
YYYY is the year of acquisition
MM is the month of acquisition
DD is the day of acquisition
T is the letter T
HH is the hour of acquisition
MM is the minute of acquisition
SS is the second of acquisition
UUU is the milli-second of acquisition
FF is the image file type:
the following filetypes are possible:
ID Image Data (Normal images)
TH Thumbnail version of the image
(Highly compression version transmitted
immidiately)
PA Amplifier A pre pixels (cal data)
PB Amplifier B pre pixels (cal data)
OL Overclocked lines (cal data)
L is the processing level of the image
I is the instance id if the image
(multiple transmissions of an image will be
reflected in this number incrementing)
F is the letter F
A is the position of the filter wheel #1
B is the position of the filter wheel #2
.IMG is the file extension
Example:
W20040923T071606570ID12F12.img
Is a WAC image acquired at 2004-09-23 at 07:16:06.657 UTC
The file contains CCD image data (image type ID) with raw
image data (level 1) and the image represents the 2
transmission of the image data. The image was acquired
using the filter combination (1,2) = Hole+Red for
the WAC.
Note! The filename contains an approximate time of acquisition.
This time value is only used to uniquely identify the image and
should not be used for any calculation needing high precision.
The time value in the filename has not been corrected for onboard
clock drift and leap seconds. The best possible knowledge about
the time of acquisition can be found in the header label
START_TIME
Parameters
==========
Data Units
----------
The images in this dataset contains values in raw Data Number (DN)
(uncalibrated)
Time-Related Keywords
---------------------
All time-related keywords in the data labels are based on the
clock inside the OSIRIS processing unit. This time is
periodically synchronized with the Rosetta spacecraft clock.
The conversion into real time (UTC) has been calculated using the
official clock drift kernels maintained by the spacecraft
operations center and leap second list maintained by the IERS.
Ancillary Data
==============
Geometric parameters included in the data labels were computed
using the N64 release of the SPICE toolkit and the most up to
date versions of the SPICE kernels available at the time of
processing. The filenames of the SPICE kernels used for the
calculations can be found in the SPICE_FILE_NAME field.
For high presition work the header geometry information should be
ignored in favour of direct calculation using the most up to date
kernels.
Coordinate System
=================
OSIRIS uses the Earth Mean Equator and Vernal Equinox of J2000
(EME J2000) as reference inertial coordinate system.
Geometric parameters provided in the data labels were computed at
the epoch specified by START_TIME, except for the
target-to-sun parameters, which were calculated for the time when the
light left the sun .
The OSIRIS label contains two groups defining usefull coordinate
system transformation:
1. SC_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
Contains the offset and rotation needed to transform from
EME J2000 to the Rosetta spacecraft coordinate system
(Commong for all Rosetta payload elements)
2. CAMERA_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
Contains the offset and rotation needed to transform from
the Rosetta spacecraft coordinate system to the camera frame
coordinate system of the NAC camera.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
Confidence Level Overview
=========================
The OSIRIS cameras are intended to deliver the highest resolution
images ever acquired of a cometary nucleus (~4 cm per pixel)
with the highest possible spectro photometric quality possible
(NAC).
The OSIRIS cameras are intended to deliver high quality line
emission maps of the inner coma (WAC)
Review
======
The OSIRIS dataset will be reviewed first internally by the
Rosetta project followed by a formal review by the PSA before
release to the public.
Data Coverage and Quality
=========================
The OSIRIS EDR data records in the CODMAC level 2 data sets does not
contain any estimate of the data quality. Quality information is
embedded (on a per pixel level) in the calibrated CODMAC level 3
data sets.
The header field DATA_QUALITY_ID exists for legacy reasons but
does not contain any usefull information.
