What we do: Isis Software

Image processing and cartography software Support mission teams, scientists, researchers,

cartographers working with planetary image data from missions like Mars Recon Orbiter, Mars rovers, Cassini-Huygens, etc.

What is Isis

Collection of applications to ingest and process planetary image data

Viewer (qview) to view image data and assist with setting up parameters to processing apps

Color-coding

Assign shades of grey to color scheme Gradient or discrete

Typically used to assign colors to elevations in topography

Example: Global Mapper

Color-coded topography

Example: Global Mapper

Color-code with hillshading

Custom discrete color-coding

Example: Global Mapper

Custom gradient color-coding

Photoshop

Gradient map tool

Gradient editor

Example: UltraFractal

Example: Apophysis

Create gradient from an image

Randomly generate gradientsSave and open gradients
