ISPRS 2003 Registration and its Uncertainty of MOLA Profiles with MOC Stereo Images
The high resolution instruments on board the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) provide the necessary data to survey the Martian topographic surface in the finest detail so far [Albee, et al, 2002]. However, control information is needed to georeference the data and their processing results. Registration of MOC (Mars Orbiter Camera) images with the MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) is an efficient way to acquire control for photogrammetric processing [Kirk, et al, 2001]. This paper presents a method that registers a MOLA profile to a stereopair of MOC images and evaluates the uncertainty of this registration.
