High resolution digital elevation models of Mars from MOC Narrow Angle stereoimages
December 19, 2001
In this abstract we report on our initial experiences performing stereotopographic mapping of Mars with high-resolution images from the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera Narrow-Angle subsystem (MGS MOC-NA; [1]). Accurate topographic information, and, in particular, high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) are of intense interest at all phases of Mars exploration and scientific investigation, from landing site selection to the quantitative analysis of the morphologic record of surface processes.
