. Full-frame NAVCAM image taken August 3, 2014, from a distance of about 185 miles (300 kilometers) from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The image has been processed using an interpolation technique the factor for scaling up and interpolation is 2. The resolution has therefore been increased from 1024 x 1024 pixels to 2048 x 2048 pixels. The Sun is toward the bottom of the image in this orientation. ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM

... Images of Titan by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are very small in size and have very low spatial resolution. Special methods of image processing are required to extract information from these images. ... Currently, in searching for features on Titan's disk imaged by the HST PC1 detector, we are faced with two problems: (1) Low spatial resolution (Figure 1). ... The two aforementioned problems necessitate processing Titan images by special methods to extract information for analysis. ...

Explanation: Astypalaea Linea on Jovian ice moon Europa is the broad smooth region running through these images recorded by the Galileo spacecraft in 1998. ... In both versions, the bold criss-crossing ridges believed to result from the upwelling of new material through cracks in the surface ice are apparent. ... Further evidence that stress is folding Europa's surface is offered by the presence of smaller cracks and wrinkles more easily seen on the left. ...

Next: Running REDUCE/CCD Up: Processing the Data Previous: Processing the Data . Before any processing on the input frame is done, the REDUCE/CCD command will first collect all resources needed for the calibration of the science frame(s). These include the master calibration frames, the overscan offset, and scaling parameters. So, at this point no operations are done yet. ... As an example, suppose the science frame is supposed to be corrected for dark current and to be flat fielded. ...

... First of all, I should say that you cannot guarantee user-mode processes to have exact control of timing because of the multi-tasking nature of Linux. ... However, for most applications using I/O ports, this does not really matter. To minimise this, you may want to nice your process to a high-priority value (see the nice(2) manual page) or use real-time scheduling (see below). ... Linux 2.x kernels have soft real time support; see the manual page for sched_setscheduler(2) for details. ...
