NASA/JPL-Caltech - Roughly assembled using MS-ICE
CURIO§ITY
The stitching software concentrates on the ground, not on the name tag :) Hence the §
That makes sense, probably a good decision. We already know what the name is. We don't know exactly what the rocks look like, so it makes sense to prioritize that information.
It's assembled from 15 overlapping images using MS-ICE. It's fully a fully automated process for the assembly, but always seems to favour the terrain rather than the arm name plate. I guess there are more matching control points on the terrain 😊
