Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

reply to post by funbox


That totally looks like a wheel hub with the axle and spindle attached on the right side. I do not think it is on Mars though, just more CGI.

Trust me when I say, there are lot more of these brake hubs and other stuff scattered around in these images. I have found several so far.
Cheers

PS I have a lot to catch up on in this thread, but have been busy researching these images and using enhancement tools that I used as a graphics artist in the past. Enhancing the images in a certain way dissolves about 20% of a layer of NASA image manipulation. And reveals things underneath. I'm sure I'll be seeing some Black helos soon too...

a diagonal sensor strike ?

Why not?

I am positive that is not an optical illusion because that pivot pin arm goes right through the wrench lever, at least to me it does.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "pivot pin arm" and "wrench lever".

And please use this image instead.


Or this one, from the left camera.


As I have two images, here's an animation with both images, to try to get a 3D idea of that area.


And a free view version.

a lot can happen in less than a second

Yes. But I guess you can hold on to the idea that the images are not simultaneous if it helps.

have you ever played about with a strobe light ? blink blink

as for ideas , I tend not to hold onto them , and experience has taught me , that usually the idea you had was blueit# to begin with only to be replaced by another blueit# idea

helps? o no , theres no helping me

ehem ... I thought I was asking the questions? , and this is you're field of expertise isn't it ?

Ok.

There is no reason cosmic rays cannot produce diagonal tracks.
Better?

The top portion at a perfect 90 degree angle to the wrench, the pivot point is that upper shaft, when you depress the corresponding pedal on the floor of the car, that upper shaft turns on it's own axis and thus activates the clutch, or brake.
Heres another pic for visual representation.

and this is a tad better in resolution..

Just popping in to subscribe and find this monstrously huge thread again... some neat things you guys have found... but I'm still waiting for the smoking gun... an actual nickle plated Mars version of a .45 with a wisp of smoke curling from the perfectly circular barrel and notches scratched into the ivory handle.

I will say that some of those circular formations/accretions sure could be fossils... so keep up with the searching (as if you guys need any incentive from me).

And "Hi" Al... thanks for the reminder.

are those two flashing dots in the gif also cosmic ray strikes?

That is not better resolution.
Zooming algorithms do not increase resolution. They "invent" stuff that doesn't exist in the original.

That is not better resolution.

It does show the detail I am pointing out better, and it is actually higher in res by a tad bit, perhaps resolution was a poor choice of words on my part though.. since it seems to have disturbed you a little.
20 years of graphics art as a professional in raster and vector, so I know what the eff I am talking about, thanks for your interest though.
This one didn't have a image magnifying plugin used on it, it was a better source and from a larger tif..

Go be contrary to someone else please, it is what a lot of us are used to however. Don't sweat it..:up


Edit: you are incorrect on the resolution enhancing algorithm adding in crap that wasn't there before, if you do it right, and it can be confirmed easily by comparing the before and after images.
Jesus H Christ there Phage Are you bored here or what

Once you told me in a thread long ago that some image viewers change the pixels and also add stuff in that isn't there, So a viewer that also edits in false data, now there's a product that will sell real big in intel circles of influence.

No. Just wanted to point out that it is not better resolution.

A better source? Can you provide that unmodified tif?

What happens when a bucket fills up to the brim with water? It overflows. The same thing happens in CCDs. A pixel can only hold so many electrons before it overflows. Because of the way the pixels are made, the overflow goes into the adjoining pixels horizontally, so the overflowing pixel leaks electrons into the pixels to its left and right (or above and below it). If enough light is hitting the one pixel, it can overflow the adjacent pixels, which flow into the next ones, and so on.

wouldn't this say otherwise? no mention of diagonal ? confusing

That's talking about what happens with a single pixel. A cosmic ray striking the sensor at an angle will leave a track across multiple pixels. Depending on the energy level of the ray, there may be varying amounts of bleed to adjacent pixels.

You really want to keep dragging me through the coals? The tiff image is easily found in this thread, but I'm not going to play the victim today, too tired..
Cheers though.

No. I'm curious about a better resolution image.

reply to post by Phage


ok , so these energetic particles can Passover more than one photosite, I see . an energy dispersion over many photosites .. but also can be one, and there the overflow happens in a updown left right fashion

cheers phage thanks for clearing that up

This clearly shows that the top part of this image is, in most pictures published of it, an optical illusion consisting of the rocks behind it. The thing that looks like a thread and bolt seem to be, when looked at from the two camera angles in ArMap's gif, two or more rocks.

Understood. But like I always tell my wife, if everything is given to you on a silver platter, it becomes a habit and then there is never an incentive to "discover" all the fun things on your own, which builds higher levels of character. (works for the wife sometimes).

should be interesting to see the result.. what package is this then ?
