POW will provide users with calibrated cartographic images that can be used for geologic mapping, analysis in a GIS, change detection, merging of dissimilar instrument images, and use in a host of…
Product Information: This map is based on data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) (Smith, et al., 2001), an instrument on NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft (Albee, et al.,…
This is a shaded relief of the original DEM described next. This data product, now at version 2, is a blend of digital elevation model (DEM) data derived from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA),…
The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission will produce a precision global geodetic control network for Mars of 30,000 - 50,000 points which will be accurate to…
The RAND control network of Mars was begun during the Mariner 9 mission, and it has been expanded and improved since then. The network is based on measurements of points made on images taken by the…
We describe a cartographic project to re-process and semi-automatically stereo match Mariner 10 vidicon stereo pair images. Three different patch-based digital stereo matching algorithms have been…
The map sheet "MARS 1:2,000,000 Mouth of Ares and Tiu Valles" presents the mapped area on the planet's northern hemisphere in two different cartographic categories. The Image Map, portraying the…
Described the exciting results which have been obtained from the initial set of mainly Northern hemispheric laser altimetry tracks from the MOLA instrument known as the SPO-1 phase. More recently has…
In the late 1980s, the USGS, Flagstaff, produced the first in what would become a series of very large, global digital image mosaics of solar system bodies. This Mars mosaicked digital image model…
Viking Orbiters 1 and 2 collectively returned more than 46,000 images of Mars between 1976 and 1980. Numerous observation sequences with different objectives resulted in an extremely complex and…
To assist in landing site selection, we are compiling a suite of stereo images of potential landing sites for the 1998 and 2001 Mars landers. From these, we are using automated stereogrammetry…
We re-examine a previously unpublished digital elevation model (DEM) of a ~105,000km2 area (figure 1) of Tithonium and Ius Chasma area, produced by the EXODUS (Extraterrestrial Orbital DEMs for…
We are producing a webbased, user-friendly interface built on a powerful Geographic Information System (GIS), that will integrate statistical and spatial relational tools for analyses of planetary…
