Sinus Meridiani: Uncontrolled Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) Digital Context Photomosaic (250 Megapixel Resolution)

By Eric Noreen

Introduction

These images were processed from a raw format using Integrated Software for Images and Spectrometers (ISIS) to perform radiometric corrections and projection. All the images were projected in sinusoidal using a center longitude of 0 degrees. There are two versions of the mosaic, one unfiltered (sinusmos.tif), and one produced with all images processed through a box filter with an averaged pixel tone of 7.5 (sinusmosflt.tif). Both mosaics are ArcView-ArcInfo(2) ready in TIF format with associated world files (*.tfw).
