vipersci 0.10.0

The VIPER Science package is software to support the activities of the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) Science Team.

vipersci

This vipersci package is software to support the activities of the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) Science Team.

This software will implement scientific models to convert instrument raw data to useful derived data (but not including any proprietary instrument details). This includes functionality for running the models “in reverse” in order to simulate instrument data for tests and mission simulations. This software will enable and support the creation of various geospatial data sets (maps) to help visualize and understand data from the spacecraft. It will also support the creation of PDS4 archive labels and structures for eventual data delivery to the Planetary Data System (PDS).

At the moment, this repo is under significant development and change as we attempt to craft various pieces of code. It is definitely a work-in-progress.

The VIPER Science Team is developing this software “in the open” in order to adhere to the new NASA Science Information Policy for the Science Mission Directorate (SPD-41) as much as is possible.

• Free software: Apache 2 License

Installation

The vipersci package is available on PyPI and pip-installable.

Installation via Conda will be forthcoming.

For the moment, follow the “Get Started!” directions in the CONTRIBUTING.rst document.

Contributing

Feedback, issues, and contributions are always gratefully welcomed. See the contributing guide for details on how to help and setup a development environment.

Unreleased

0.10.0 (2024-05-28)

Added

• image_records.py - Added various light_on_x columns to record the state of the lights in ImageRecord objects.

Changed

• create_raw.py - For the get_lights() function, session is now optional, and by default, the get_lights() function now relies on the values in the passed ImageRecord, but if given a session, the values in the light_records table will override what is in the ImageRecord.

0.9.2 (2024-04-15)

Fixed

• nss.py - The DataModeler class would incorrectly always return a weh_arr of all-NaN values. This bug has been fixed, and additional safeguards and error reporting have been placed in the class, and tests written.

0.9.1 (2024-04-10)

Fixed

• anaglyph.py - when used with scikit-image versions greater than 0.21 changed the argument signature for phase_cross_correlation(). Fixed call, and should now work more globally.

0.9.0 (2024-04-08)

Added

• get_position.py - Now has support for http basic auth and can now handle returns from the REST service that could be either a sequence of elements or a single element.

• create_raw.py - Updated to accommodate the icer_minloss and icer_byte_quota properties of an ImageRecord.

• image_records.py - Added properties for the new image_nickname and waypoint_id properties, and updated the concept of capture_id to be a combination of the waypoint_id and the locally unique_capture_id, instead of a combination of the locally unique_capture_id and the image_request_id.

Fixed

• pano_check.py - removed a redundant argument.

• create_mmgis_pano.py - outpaths for saving the pano and thumbnail were being incorrectly generated.

0.8.0 (2024-02-21)

Changed

• The instrument_name() function in pid.py now can deal with alias names that are within a given string, not just an exact match.

• Now that pid.instrument_name() is more robust, ImageRecord.__init__() can handle a wider variety of Yamcs parameter names, should they change in the future.

• create_mmgis_pano.py - create() now takes a thumbsize int or tuple of ints that will control the creation and size of an output thumbnail JPG file, with naming convention set by Yamcs/OpenMCT.

• image_records.py - Added icer_byte_quota and icer_minloss parameters to ImageRecord, as well as a variety of improved handling related to this change and in pid.py.

• pid.py - Changed handling of the compression value to match the kinds of data we’ll get from telemetry, so that the letters are assigned to cover an interval of possible compression ratios, and to reflect the new default byte quota value for driving images.

0.7.0 (2024-02-05)

Changed

• The light_records.py table now just records state changes (from ‘on’ to ‘off’ or vice-versa).

• create_image.py’s create() method now has an imgtype argument that default to TIFF (but can be PNG).

• junc_image_req_ldst.py got some additional columns to manage the Science Team evaluation of images acquired from Image Requests.

• create_pano.py’s make_pano_product() function renamed to make_pano_record().

• nss_simulator.py - nodata defaults for ideal detector count maps updated to more realistic values for dry terrain.

• image_statistics.py - Added additional stats in the compute() function, and added a pprint() function to format the info nicely.

Added

• pds.Purpose now provides names and explanations for the PDS-allowable values for “purpose.”

• yamcs_reception_time column added to the image_records.py table.

• Association table junc_image_pano created which provides a many-to-many connection between ImageRecords and PanoRecords and added bidirectional relationship entries to each table.

• pano_records table now has pan and tilt angle min/max values to indicate angular range of panorama coverage.

• ImageRecord objects will now extract an ImageRequest ID from the provided capture_id if it is larger than the 16 bit range.

• image_requests.py - “Acquired,” “Not Acquired,” “Not Planned,” and “Not Obtainable” statuses added to enum. Also added asdict() method.

• ptu_records.py - Tables to record the pan and tilt of the rover’s pan-tilt-unit (PTU).

• create_browse.py - For making browse products from existing image products.

• create_mmgis_pano.py - For making pano products for use in MMGIS.

• create_pano.py - updated to correctly add PanoRecord associations, can now query database for ImageRecords.

• create_pano_product.py - takes PanoRecords and makes a PDS Pano Product.

• get_position.py - Gets position and yaw from a REST-based service.

• create_vis_dbs.py - Now also supports spatialite databases, primarily for testing.

• create_raw.py - Added components for adding observational intent and data quality to the XML label.

• labelmaker - A program to help build PDS4 bundle and collection labels.

• bundle_install - A program to copy just the files related to a PDS4 bundle into a new location. Fundamentally allowing a “make install” for PDS4 bundles.

Removed

• ldst_verification.py because the evaluation activity reflected here was on a per-image basis, but it has been revised to be on a per-Image-Request basis.

0.6.1 (2023-09-25)

Fixed

• validators.validate_dateimte_asutc now properly raises a ValueError if the provided tz-aware datetime has a non-UTC tz offset (before any tz-aware datetime would pass the validator).

• image_records.ImageRecord object now has pgaGain instead of ppaGain (which was surely a typo in the early upstream data.

• create_image.py now correctly imports all of the tables that have a relation to the image_records table so that SQLAlchemy can properly resolve them, and downstream users of the create_image.create() function don’t need to worry about sorting that out.

• nss_simulator.py, when asked to produce an output set of maps, uses a zero nodata value rather than whatever nodata value was present in the input burial depth map.

• anaglyph.py needed some minor changes to align with upcoming changes in the scikit-image architecture.

0.6.0 (2023-09-25)

Changed the concept of primarily recording PDS-like “products” in the database and data structures, and changed the concept to capture “records” of various kinds (ImageRecords, LightRecords, and derived things like PanoRecords) in the database and as the primary data unit for use and interaction. And then PDS “products” will be made at a later time via a process that sources one or many records.

Added

• image_records.py (this replaces the concept of raw_products.py)

• create_image.py (this replaces most of the functionality of the previous create_raw.py)

• image_tags.py which contains image tag information.

• image_requests.py defines the table for holding image requests.

• Junction tables to connect LDST information to ImageRequests and ImageTags to ImageRecords.

• ldst.py table which contains LDST information.

• light_records.py which handles information about luminaire state.

• anaglyph.py

• pano_check.py to sort through image records and figure out what would be a good panorama set.

Changed

• header.pga_gain_dict structure now has values that are always floats, which helps to determine whether this transformation needs to be applied.

• image_stats.py is the new raw_stats.py, supporting ImageRecord objects.

• pano_products.py is now pano_records.py, supporting ImageRecord objects.

• create_pano.py now supports ImageRecords and PanoRecords.

• create_raw.py rearchitected to gather information from “records” to build XML PDS labels.

• create_vis_dbs entry point changed to vis_create_dbs to conform with other vis-related entry points.

• pid.VISID now properly sorts the uncompressed “z” state lower (better) than the lossless compressed “a” state.

• pid.VISID now has a best_compression() function to sort out the best compression state from an iterable containing may compression states from a single observation.

0.5.0 (2023-07-26)

Added

• carto.bounds module added to unify functionality for both heatmaps and dotmaps.

• carto.dotmap module for creating simple heatmap-like visualizations from 2d scalar data.

• GitHub workflows have been re-arranged. Black and flake8 are now run under the “Lint” action, and the flake8 tests are removed from the Python testing matrix.

Removed

• The pinned versions requirements_dev.txt

Fixed

• CHANGELOG.rst had an unescaped underbar which caused trouble with twine upload.

• setup.cfg arrangement in install_requires passed local testing, but not GitHub testing, have now fixed.

• vis.db.raw_products.RawProduct.label_dict() now correctly sets sample_bits and sample_bit_mask if the image is a SLoG image.

• Added __init__.py files to all modules (some modules did not get incorporated into the PyPI package because they did not have __init__.py files.

• The setup.cfg now properly includes requirements that vipersci needs.

Removed
