ISPRS 2003 Topographic Profile Diagrams of Mars: Architecture of the Density of Craters Curver Low-Pass Filter

Recently, mathematical approach was proposed providing a way to compute how deep Martian ocean was during each period of the planet history, including the probability that ocean existed once. Important step toward the formal proof of Martian ocean recession, timing and probability is representation of Martian topography and related values, in the form of topography profile diagrams. For this purpose, the architecture of the crater density curve low-pass filter is important.
