Mars Mini Movie

An interactive Python script to create short 3D movies and 3D gifs from stereoscopic images obtained by the Mars Curiosity Rover's front hazard avoidance cameras.

The user is prompted to enter a number for a Mars solar day, also known as a "sol". Users can view available images for all sols on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory website. If the number entered is a valid sol, all of the full size, stereoscopic images will be obtained from the site. From there the images are altered to remove some of the fisheye effect, blended into an anaglyph, and converted into an mp4 file. The user can also choose whether they want to save the movie as gif file as well.
