ISPRS 1998 Stereogrammetric Mapping of Mars thumbnail

ISPRS 1998 Stereogrammetric Mapping of Mars

application/pdf 65 kB

The Viking Orbiters acquired quality stereo coverage of a significant fraction of Mars in 1976-1980. Several groups have been using this stereo coverage to produce global and regional scale…
