ISPRS 1998 USGS Experiences Mapping the Mars Pathfinder Landing Site

The Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) obtained 5 full panoramic sets of images, varying in color and stereo coverage and degree of data compression, from the highly compressed First Look to the losslessly compressed, 15-filter Super Pan. These sequences permit detailed mapping of the landing site out to 10s of meters from Sagan Memorial Station. Our experiences mapping with a combination of in-house (USGS’s ISIS) and commercial (LHZ Systems’ SOCET Set) software will be reported.
