Multispectral and stereo imaging on Mars.

摘要: Relevant aspects of the design and function two-window Viking Landing Camera system are described, with particular reference to some results its operation on Mars during mission. A major feature is that optical tunnel between lens photosensor array contains a multiaperture baffle designed reduce veiling glare attenuate radio frequency interference from lander antennas. The principle contour mode described. accuracy limited by stereo base, resolution camera picture elements, geometric calibration. To help determine desirability as well safety possible sample sites, use made both radiometric photogrammetric information for each element combine high-resolution pictures low-resolution color same area.
