Note that these images are RAW and UNPROCESSED. They do not look like the test images because the test images underwent over a year of cleanup processing work; these images are simply our first impressions. Our imaging team is currently working hard to "clean up" these images and assemble them into mosaics. Keep in mind also that the DISR cameras have been traveling through space for seven years and hence are not in the pristine condition that the test sensor head was in when the test images were taken.
These images are meant to be looked by crossing your eyes and concentrating on the center of the image, which produces a three-dimensional effect.

The colored pictures are being developed by the German contingent of the DISR team. As of yet, no timeline for release of color images has been established.

This image is an average
of 6 Side-Looking Imager images on the surface of Titan chosen for their
relatively low compression ratio and optimum exposure time. They were sharpened, and they were colored
with a hue that averaged 22.5 and varied over the angles covered by the image
as determined by the Downward-Looking Visible Spectrometer. UA LPL-Tucson and MPS-Lindau.
The Huygens
Landing Area is situated within the context of Cassini orbiter data in this
montage of RADAR, DISR, VIMS & ISS images.
As one travels in a spiral direction clockwise through a succession of
increasingly detailed views, the current placement of the landing point is
identified.

This animation
displays (color-coded) the altimetry of the brighter highland terrain cut by dendritic channels near
the Huygens landing
site. The region pictured is
approximately 1.5 by 3.5 km and displays a maximum relative relief
of 150-200 m. The overall topography is still uncertain, but
the relative topography is on a firmer footing.
