Mars Exploration Rover Panoramic Camera Multidimensional Analyses and Surface Spectral Variability
The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) panoramic camera system (Pancam) has provided surface-based multispectral image data with unprecedented spatial and radiometric fidelity. The spectral coverage of the camera system allows for the discrimination of important Fe2+ and Fe3+ bearing minerals expected to occur on the Martian surface . This paper explores the spatially coherent and structurally consistent spectral variability present at both the Spirit and Opportunity landing sites using multidimensional analysis of representative Pancam multispectral scenes.
