Notes on images in kique_D80-Card1_101NIKON.

These images are by Carlos (Kique) Romero and are provided with
his permission without cost for any purpose.

The images are provided in both the original .NEF NIKON raw format
and, as a convenience, converted to PNG and JPEG.  There are 619
images in this aerial sequence, each 3039x2014 pixels in size.
These were taken from a handheld NIKON D70 camera through the
aircraft window from 9:05 thru 10:21am on Sept 22, 2008.
The sequences include some usable 360 degree looks at certain blocks,
with a fair amount of traffic visible and high enough frame rate to
allow tracking tests.  The sequence includes areas with bodies
of water, trees, an industrial port area, freeways, some
multistory buildings, along with bridges and other structures with
interesting, non-box-like shapes.

The PNG and JPEG conversion was updated May 27, 2011 to use dcraw,
using version 9.08, with the parameters "dcraw -c -w +M -q 3 -m 1 -4",
followed by a gamma correction in the imagemagick convert utility
using parameter 2.222 for the JPEG's.  I have not tested whether the
-m1 caused the images to look a bit fuzzy or not -- experimenting with
the dcraw parameters may yield better results.
