Tectonic lineament mapping of the Thaumasia Plateau, Mars: Comparing results from photointerpretation and a semi-automatic approach

Di Achille, Gaetano; Vaz, David A.; Barata, Maria Teresa +1 more

Photointerpretation is the technique generally used to map and analyze the tectonic features existent on Mars surface. In this study we compare qualitatively and quantitatively two tectonic maps based on the interpretation of satellite imagery and a map derived semi-automatically. The comparison of the two photointerpreted datasets allowed us to i…

Implementation of Martian virtual reality environment using very high-resolution stereo topographic data

Kim, Jung-Rack; Lin, Shih-Yuan; Hong, Jeong-Woo +2 more

Topography over terrestrial or other planetary surfaces is an important base data for virtual reality construction. In particular, with inaccessible topography such as the Martian surface, virtual reality provides great value not only for public interaction but also for scientific research. For the latter application, since field surveys are essen…
