Original software written for the film In Saturn's Rings. Downloader acquires the files through web scraping PDS Imaging sites, and the Controller converts the images from NASA Vicar/PDS/FITs formats to 32-bit floating point TIFF.

This is a proof of concept application from late 2012 that quickly turned into production use for the film. It is currently undergoing a massive overhaul to transition from a proof of concept to a true production application with sane means of maintenance, readability, and testability.

• JDK 8+
• Spring Boot 2
• Spring 5
• H2 database
• NASA's VICAR image library
• mjeanroy's exiftool library

• Clone repo
• Run mvn clean install -DskipTests from the top level directory of the project to install dependencies.

In order for the tests to pass, you will need to download Cassini's calibration data - the coiss_0011_v3 archive. Then perform the following steps:

• Expand the archive anywhere on your file system.
• Create a symlink to the expanded folder - converter/src/test/resources/calib
• Run the tests in Converter to verify they all pass.

• From the command line and within the converter module, run mvn clean package -DskipTests.
• Copy the converter-<VERSION>.jar and RunConverter.properties files to the same path as converter-.jar
• Modify RunConverter.properties to reflect your environment. This includes setting:
  • image.directory.read - path containing image files to be processed
  • image.directory.write - path to folder for finished, processed image files
  • cassini.calibration.dir - path to the directory containing the cassini calibration files (specifically you need ).
• Run java -jar converter-<VERSION>.jar from the command line.
