18. Generation of color separation negatives from different
filter views of the same scene
Figure 12.--Mariner 9 image processing: upper left, picture as received;
upper right, after linear contrast enhancement; lower left, after local
contrast enhancement; lower right, after vertical automatic gain control
In addition to these image manipulation algorithms, the computer
system produces project control information:
19. -Plotting of picture footprints on reference graticule
20. Cataloging of picture data
21. Generation of navigation data parameters
When photographic operations have been completed, a control net
will be computed. Procedures are described in reference 21. This will
be followed hy preparation of photomaps at 1:5,000,000 scale.
