The Multi-Temporal Database of Planetary Image Data (MUTED): A web-based tool for studying dynamic Mars

摘要: Abstract Multi-temporal spacecraft observations are key to detect and understand surface changes time-critical processes on Mars. Since the 1970s, number of orbital Mars has increased over one million images. The have revealed that is changing due exogenic processes, including eolian activity, mass movement, seasonal ice frost cover, crater-forming impacts. increasing highlights importance efficient convenient tools for planetary image data management change detection analyses. To support identification we developed Multi-Temporal Database Planetary Image Data (MUTED), which accessible at “ http://muted.wwu.de ”. database enables scientists quickly identify spatial multi-temporal coverage from As a basis various analyses, location, number, time range acquisitions overlapping images taken by Viking Orbiter (VO), Camera (MOC), High Resolution Stereo (HRSC), Thermal Emission Imaging Instrument (THEMIS), Science Experiment (HiRISE), Compact Reconnaissance Spectrometer (CRISM) Context (CTX) as well future instruments (e.g., Colour Surface System (CaSSIS)) can be identified. will assist optimize searches analysis understanding short-term, seasonal, long-term in atmosphere demonstrate capability scientific potential database, analyzed occurrence dark slope streaks observed their formation within interval
