PRoViDE: Planetary Probes’ Mass Vision Data Processing

ABSTRACT:

The FP7-SPACE project PRoViDE will assemble a major portion of the imaging data gathered so far from vehicles and probes on planetary surfaces into a unique database, bringing them into a common planetary geospatial context and providing access to a complete set of 3D vision products. Processing and GIS web access is complemented by a multiresolution visualisation engine that combines various levels of detail for a seamless and immersive realtime access to dynamically rendered 3D scene representations.

Mars US rover traverse co-registration using multi-resolution Orbital 3D imaging datasets

ABSTRACT:

Co-registered 3D Digital terrain Models (DTMs) and orthorectified imaging (ORI) orbital datasets have been produced of all the major US Mars landing sites. These have been sourced from HiRise, HRSC and MOLA. Co-registration was achieved using manual tiepointing within ARCgis v10. These DTM and ORI products were sourced from publicly available datasets or from EU-FP7-PRoViSG partners or generated using internal UCL 3D-RPIF [1] resources. For rover traverses, this results in substantial transformations which implies that all the SPICE kernels will need to be recomputed.
