Mars Image Products: Science Goes Operational

Correlating multispectral imaging and compositional data from the Mars Exploration Rovers and implications for Mars Science Laboratory

“…Each image was radiometrically corrected to ''I/F'' values, where I is the measured radiance and pF is the incident irradiance at the top of the martian atmosphere (Bell et al, 2003. Next, disparity maps were generated, mapping each pixel in the right eye to the corresponding pixel in the left eye, using the L753 image as the reference image (Deen et al, 2004). Finally, ''warped'' right eye images were generated based on the disparity maps, allowing the images from both eyes to be digitally stacked using the Interactive Data Language (IDL) array processing software.…”
