As we prepare to return to the moon and explore Mars in the coming years join in the search for extraterrestrial artifacts using SFSX - a Mac OS X app for lunar and planetary exploration.

Shape from Shading is a technique for 3D viewing of lunar and planetary imagery. SFSX computes a 3D surface from a single image and uses it to view the image mapped onto the surface from different look angles. 

The method originally developed in the early days of the Space Age was employed in an independent investigation of the Face on Mars in the the 1980s. It is currently being used to assess a number of anomlaous features on the Moon. Go to intelligentGadgets.us for more information.
