Rather than filling missing data regions with interpolated data colored with the same scale as real data or simply leaving such regions empty, the restorer technique fills the regions with interpolated data colored with a color table with only luminance values. This technique allows missing data to be indicated clearly without distracting from the content of the real data.    A narrated video describing the restorer technique and giving several examples Duration: 6.3 minutes Available formats:   352x240 (29.97 fps) MPEG-1   63 MB   160x80       PNG           12 KB   320x240     JPEG         8 KB   80x40         PNG           4 KB How to play our movies Animation Number: 10 Completed: 1994-08-24 Animators: Ray Twiddy (Hughes STX) (Lead)   John Cavallo (Hughes STX)   Shahram Shiri (NASA) Scientist: Ray Twiddy (Hughes STX) Platform/Sensor/Data Set: Nimbus-7/TOMS (1992/01/01-1993/04/30) Series: Restorer   Narrated Movies Video: SVS1994-0001 * Keywords: DLESE >> Technology SVS >> Visualization techniques     Please give credit for this item to: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio *Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library.
