At 09:03:18 UTC the Mastcam Right photographed a ridge in the direction of Mount Sharp, which peeks out just behind the ridge itself, visible as a whitish strip tending to pale pink.
The variety of rocks visible in this photo is truly incredible in shape, level of erosion and color!
There are several different shades and hues on the ground as well, really interesting….
The original image is a black and white encoding of the Bayer mask that has been converted to color through a process called “debayering” or “demosaicing”. In addition, the photo has undergone noise reduction due to Jpeg compression, white balance and a slight increase in microcontrast and color saturation in order to make the colors more similar to what the human eye would see.
