Shape from Shading Digital Elevation Model for Oxia Planum Candidate Landing Site

This data set contains the calibrated and map-projected HiRISE image ESP_037558_1985 and the matching Shape from Shading DEM using the method described in Hess et al., (2019a), and in more detail in Hess et al. (2022). The SfS DTM was part of the EPSC abstract Hess et al., (2019b). When using the data please reference Hess et al. (2022) for the method.

ESP_037558_1985_30cm_o.cub: Image data in radiances, ISIS cube file, Equirectangular map projection at 0.25 m/pixel resolution.

ESP_037558_1985_30cm_DEM.cub: Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with heights in meter, ISIS cube file, Equirectangular map projection at 0.25 m/pixel resolution.

Cube files can be converted to other data formats using gdal (https://gdal.org/) or directly loaded in, e.g., ArcGIS or QGIS.
