High-Level Project Summary
"Juno:Remix" is an online platform providing the possibility to process an image taken by JunoCam. Users can play around with many settings, including changing the brightness, contrast and saturation as well as reinterpreting the individual color channels. When finished, one can compare the edited image to the default one. The final image can then be downloaded and shared.

Detailed Project Description
"Juno:Remix" is a platform that makes it possible for anyone to process raw JunoCam images. By adjusting the sliders, users can change the individiual color channels as well as apply general filters. Color channels can also be hidden or reinterpreted by utilizing the color picker. By clicking the "Filters" checkbox, one can see the differences between the default and the edited image.
The underlying technology is a combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. All the image processing is done with image manipulations native to the HTML canvas tag. The individual channels are edited on different "layers" and then combined into one image, by using the "screen" blend mode.
The goal of this project was to create a tool to make image processing possible for anyone interested. The tool aims to make it easy and intuitive to learn about this broad topic in a playful way.
Space Agency Data
The project uses raw images identified by JNCE_2022272_45C00088_V01.
These images were taken on September 29 and show the south polar region.
Hackathon Journey
Starting spontaneously on Saturday, I learned a lot about image processing in a very short time. The challenge seemed fun and like a nice way to learn about this interesting topic. Therefore I started by processing the used image manually to get to know what a workflow could look like. Most of the coding was done on day two, having made a plan to divide the project into multiple smaller steps.
