Abstract

Automated procedures for ground processing of Mars Express HRSC data have been developed and are applied systematically immediately after download in order to provide calibrated data sets as well as photogrammetric image and 3D data products within a short time frame. Multi-spectral orthoimages in scales of 10 - 50 m/pixel and digital terrain models of 200 m raster width are generated within days even for large orbits covering areas of several hundred thousand square kilometers. An even higher image resolution of up to 2.3 m/pixel provided by HRSC's Super Resolution Channel (SRC) extends the potential of the HRSC camera experiment.
