In ENVI, you can assign map information to a PDS image based on values from the PDS label.
1. Download an image and corresponding PDS label file (.lbl extension) to the same directory.
2. Open the image in ENVI. It will not be map projected.
3. Select File > Edit ENVI Header and select the image. Click OK.
4. From Edit Attributes, choose Map Info...
5. Click Change Proj.
6. Unless you already have the correct lunar projection, create a new one (steps below assume projection does not
In the MSL, MER, and Phoenix Analyst's Notebooks, standard data sets can be found in the sol summaries, but additional data sets can be accessed, as well.
These data sets can be located through Resources for Curiosity, Spirit, Opportunity, and Phoenix. Both the MER and Phoenix resources offer additional data sets, data set documents, and a reference list.
In MER's additional data sets, you can access:
APXS Oxide Abundance Data
MI Merged Focal Sections
Through the MER and Phoenix Analyst's Notebooks, sequences of images taken by Navcam, Pancam, Microscopic Imager, and Hazcam can be downloaded as multi-band ENVI formatted images for use with ENVI image processing software.
The images can be downloaded under Sequence Download in the Product Sequence menu for any sequence of images. By going into "Sol Summaries" (for Spirit, Opportunity, or Phoenix), you will be able to select a sol and then view the data products from the "Re
One of the many features of the MER and Phoenix Analyst's Notebooks is the ability to create an RGB image from three images taken by the Pancam stereo cameras.
The initial steps to create an RGB image are the same as for creating an anaglyph image. The RGB feature is found under Image Processing in the Product Sequence menu for a given set of images. By going into "Sol Summaries" (for Spirit, Opportunity, or Phoenix), you will be able to select a sol and then view the data pr
One of the unique features of the MER and Phoenix Analyst's Notebooks is being able to create an anaglyph image from a pair of images taken by the Navcam, Pancam, or Hazcam stereo cameras.
The anaglyph feature is found under Image Processing in the Product Sequence menu for a given stereo pair of images. By going into "Sol Summaries" (for Spirit, Opportunity, or Phoenix), you will be able to select a sol and then view the data products from the "Report" menu. By choosing a se

PDS images do not always open correctly in ENVI because of a bug in ENVI's PDS image reader. A fix is promised with the ENVI 5.0 release. In the meantime, here is a workaround for the problem.
Step 1. Get the correct image information from the PDS label.
The PDS label describes the image data. You will need to determine the following values from the PDS label:
Image offset (in bytes)
Number of samples and
