ISPRS 2003 Mapping Mars with Landmark Templates

Viking Orbiter, MOC and MOLA data are being used to construct three dimensional landmark templates on Mars which can be aligned with a variety of data types for navigation on future missions and which provide a characterization of the surface topography. Each template is described by a vector from the center of Mars to the origin of a local coordinate system and by an array of heights and albedos relative to that system.
