DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : This DVD contains portions of the MARCI Experiment Data Record (EDR) Archive, a collection of image data from the Mars Color Imager on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. Image data are stored with PDS labels and are uncompressed. The data have been separated into two files per image (one for the visible and one for the UV) and have been rearranged in frame order, but are otherwise unprocessed and uncalibrated. This DVD also contains ancillary data files, an index file ('index.tab') that tabulates the contents of the DVD, and documentation files. For more information on the contents and organization of the DVD volume set refer to the 'DVD CONTENTS, DIRECTORY, AND FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS' section of the aareadme.txt file located in the root directory of the data volumes. Calibration : For a detailed description of the algorithm for calibrating MARCI images, see the 'calib' subdirectory on this volume.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Geometric Accuracy ------------------ Latitude and longitude coordinates for the images given in the index.tab file were computed using the best-available spacecraft position and orientation information, in the form of SPK and CK kernel files for the NAIF SPICELIB software. The versions used were constructed operationally by MSSS personnel from deliveries by the MRO Project. While these should be equivalent to those retrievable from the NAIF FTP server (naif.jpl.nasa.gov), there may be small discrepancies and the NAIF versions are to be preferred for all further processing. The planetary constants kernel pck00008.tpc (available from naif.jpl.nasa.gov) was used to generate the geometric information in the index.tab file.
