High-quality Stereo Matching Strategies for Planetary Rover Imagery

The European ExoMars Rover (To be launched to Mars in 2018 with foreseen landing in 2019) will contain a panoramic camera system (PanCam) that is used for stereoscopic 3D reconstruction of the Rover environment. JR is coordinating the PanCam 3D vision processing, in this role the stereo matching from PanCam images (between left and right wide angle camera – WAC, as well as between one of the WACs and the High Resolution Camera – HRC having different focal lengths) is being implemented in the 3D vision chain of rover image ground processing. To gain maximum scientific output from the 3D vision processing, to geologically map the Rover’s environment in 3D, highest quality and robustness of the used matching methods is essential
