Title: Exploration and Analysis of Planetary Shape and Topography Using Stereophotogrammetry
Abstract: Acquiring information on the surface morphology is among the foremost goals in the exploration of the solar system planets, satellites, and minor bodies. In addition to its key role in understanding geologic structures and geophysical processes, morphology is also a critical factor in the coregistration of images for studies of spectrometry, photometry, and temporal change. Geodetic reference systems, maps, and appropriate data visualizations are essential contributions to modern planetary remote sensing missions. With the availability of modern digital camera systems and improved processing techniques, the resolution and quality of digital terrain models (DTMs) covering planetary surfaces has improved considerably in the past 20 years.
