I received a number of requests to validify the credibility of image upscales made using Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel. I’ve chosen a know subject on Mars and I share results with you here.
The photograph analyzed here (ESP_069031_1750) was acquired by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on 18 April 2021 and is described as ‘Curiosity Rover Climbing Mount Mercou in Gale Crater.’
The Rover Curiosity is the smallest object on Mars that I’ve upscaled to date, measuring only 2.9 m × 2.7 m × 2.2 m (9 ft 6 in × 8 ft 10 in × 7 ft 3 in). The results of the upscaled images using Gigapixel when compared to the RAW, conventionally magnified versions show good results. The detail of the rover shows up nicely, clearly seen on the left-hand side are three wheels and to the top-right the Mast Cam and another wheel.
Taking into account the size of the objects I’ve upscaled in the past, measuring upwards of five metres in size, there is a lot more detail and information for Gigapixel to work with thus in my opinion it will produce relatively accurate upscaled images.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will help me to cover my Internet fees which include broadband access and hosting of my Blog. The NASA photographs I download for my research are huge thus the need for broadband, high data access.
Your support is very highly appreciated.

DISCLAIMER:
Many or all of the anomalies/artefacts covered in this presentation may be naturally occurring geological features caused by some type of geological processes, however due to the lack of specific information from the source we can only speculate whether these are all natural or some artificial in nature.
In cases where I say an anomaly looks like something I’m attempting to clarify what I see and not specifically that the anomaly is what I say it looks like.
My intention is only to share anomalies I’ve discovered on Mars and not to convince anyone that there is or was a civilization on Mars.
As Will Farrar from WhatsUpInTheSky says: “I see what I see, you see what you see.”
