Visual Example of the successive steps in the processing of a stereo image pair by the stereo pipeline
The stereo pair of the martian surface processed in this example was taken on July 6 1997 by the pathfinder lander. It shows partially on the right the flat rock called "Flat Top". The big round rock is called "Stimpy" and "little Flat Top" is visible on the left of the image. Its Location in the panorama is shown in the following image.

The stereo pipeline can create texture from topographical
caracteristic of the terrain. Here the elevation (altitude) is coded
by color.
