"vicar2png Space Apps Challenge 2012 submission" By Jessica McKellar
Much of the image data from NASA's Planetary Image Atlas is in the VICAR format, which was unreadable by any existing open source image conversion tools. We wrote and packaged vicar2png so that anyone can view, enjoy, and remix NASA's mission image data easily by converting VICAR files to the popular PNG image format.
Our submission video demos vicar2png and showcases some beautiful images we converted from NASA's Cassini mission, as well as a short movie stitched together from raw Cassini data.
