Data Set Overview
=================
An IDD Reachability map contains information about whether or not
the instruments on the IDD can reach (contact or image) the
object or location represented by each pixel in the scene. It is
derived from the XYZ and Surface Normal (UVW) products.
The geometry of the reachability map matches the linearized
reference, XYZ, and Surface Normal (UVW) images, in that each pixel
in the file directly corresponds to the pixel at the same location
in the other products.
The reachability map is a 16-band byte image in standard Band
Sequential order. Thus for each pixel there are 16 values. These
values represent reachability for each of the 4 IDD instruments in
each of its 4 configurations. The mapping between band number and
instrument/configuration is given by the INSTRUMENT_BAND_ID and
CONFIGURATION_BAND_ID labels.
The value of the pixel is interpreted according to the instrument.
For RAT, 0 means the pixel is not reachable in that configuration,
while any other number represents the maximum preload in integer
Newtons that can be applied at that point. For all other
instruments, 0 means the pixel is not reachable by that instrument
in that configuration, while 255 means that the pixel is reachable.
Processing
==========
MER Camera Payload RDRs are considered Level 3 (Calibrated Data
equivalent to NASA Level 1-A), Level 4 (Resampled Data
equivalent to NASA Level 1-B), or Level 5 (Derived Data
equivalent to NASA Level 1-C, 2 or 3). The RDRs are to be
reconstructed from Level 2 edited data, and are to be assembled
into complete images that may include radiometric and/or geometric
correction.
MER Camera Payload EDRs and RDRs will be generated by JPL's
Multimission Image Processing Laboratory (MIPL) under the OPGS
subsystem of the MER GDS. RDRs will also be generated by the Athena
Pancam Science and Microscopic Imager Science Teams under the SOAS
subsystem of the GDS.
RDR data products will be generated by, but not limited to, MIPL
using the Mars Suite of VICAR image processing software at JPL, the
Athena Pancam Science Team using IDL software at Cornell University
and JPL, and the Microscopic Imager Science Team using ISIS software
at USGS (Flagstaff) and JPL. The RDRs produced will be processed
data. The input will be one or more Camera EDR or RDR data products
and the output will be formatted according to this SIS. Additional
meta-data may be added by the software to the PDS label.
Data
====
RDR products generated by MIPL will have a VICAR label wrapped by a
PDS label, and their structure can include the optional EOL label
after the binary data. RDR products not generated by MIPL may
contain only a PDS label. Or, RDR products conforming to a standard
other than PDS, such as JPEG compressed or certain Terrain products,
are acceptable without a PDS header during mission operations, but
may not be archivable.
The RDR data product is comprised of radiometrically decalibrated
and/or camera model corrected and/or geometrically altered versions
of the raw camera data, in both single and multi-frame (mosaic)
form. Most RDR data products will have PDS labels, or if generated
by MIPL (OPGS), dual PDS/VICAR labels. Non-labeled RDRs include JPEG
compressed products and the Terrain products.
Software
========
The MIPL Mars Program Suite was used to generate these RDRs.
Media/Format
============
The data set will initially be delivered and kept online. Upon
Mission completion, the Hazcam Operations RDRs will be delivered
to PDS on DVD.
