Data Set Overview
=================
Compressed Twice Mosaicked Image Data Records (C2-MIDRs)
consist of mosaics generated by computing 3x3 pixel arithmetic
moving averages from the C1-MIDRs. Each C2-MIDR is in a
sinusoidal equal area projection and has an origin at 0 degrees
latitude, with the central meridian defined as the longitude
bisecting the mosaic. Each C2-MIDR has 7168 lines (aligned
with latitudes) and 8192 samples, arranged as 56 1024x1024
files on CD-ROM. C2-MIDRs, with their 675 m pixel widths, are
designed to cover the planet at reasonably high resolution and
high signal to noise ratio.
The 1024x1024 files have a VICAR2 format, with embedded VICAR2
labels. The data have been placed on CD-ROMs with
documentation, detached Planetary Data System labels, and
summary tabular information.
One C2-MIDR frame covers 45 degrees of latitude and longitude.
Thirty-four C2-MIDRs were generated during the first mapping
cycle.
Note: The C2-MIDRs also exist as photoproducts that have had
a linear contrast enhancement applied. Photoproducts
are generated from the 7K x 8K assemblage of files, so
there is one photoproduct per C2-MIDR.
Finally, in some cases a cross track seam removal process has
been applied. See the CONTENTS.TAB file on the relevant MIDR
CD-ROM volume for information on which MIDRs have been
seam-corrected.

data set description for more details on radiometric and
geometric processing of Magellan SAR data.
