The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) of Mars Express and its approach to science analysis and mapping for Mars and its satellites (original) (raw)

The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard ESA's Mars Express plays a crucial role in mapping and investigating the topography of Mars and its satellites. With its advanced imaging capabilities, including the ability to create high-accuracy digital terrain models (DTMs) and orthoimages in a single pass, HRSC has systematically covered significant portions of the Martian surface. This paper outlines the innovative methods for 3D reconstruction and mapping utilized by HRSC and explores their applications in various scientific fields, showcasing notable achievements stemming from HRSC data analyses.
