JUICE Monitoring Camera (JMC) bundle
===========================================================

This readme file contains full description of the JMC instrument bundle content.
The JMC bundle contains the following primary collections:

browse_partially_processed  - browse RGB images produced from the partially processed RGB data 
data_partially_processed    - partially processed JMC data products, consisting in RGYB and RGB images in FITS format
data_raw                    - raw JMC data products, consisting in CFA images in FITS format


The JUICE Monitoring Camera (JMC) is a facility instrument under ESA responsibility designed for the ESA JUpiter ICy moons 
Explorer (JUICE) space mission. JMC consists in two separate colour cameras (JMC1 and JMC2). Their primary usage 
is the monitoring of the JUICE spacecraft structures and their deployment (solar arrays, antenna, booms). 
Each camera aquires raw Colour Filter Array (CFA) images with a custom RGYB bayer pattern. 
Each raw CFA image is converted in a partially processed data product containing a RGYB image and a RGB image following
a demosaicing, interpolation, and colour characterisation procedure. Raw and partially processed data products 
are stored in FITS files. Browse products consist in RGB images produced from the partially processed RGB images. 
All the data and browse products are labeled with a PDS4 label (*.lblx) that conforms to the PDS4 Information Model 
XML schema at https://pds.nasa.gov/pds4/schema/released/. They are best viewed in an XML-aware text editor, and 
may be used by software that can manipulate XML documents.

See these sources for more information.
