For the stability of the complete block the spatial accuracy of tie 
points in the overlapping areas is important. Hence for all 20 sub 
blocks with an overlapping area the mean intersection error was 
calculated using the different orientation data sets (Fig. 8). 
For the computation of the complete block as a whole, the number 
of tie points for each sub-block was reduced to a target value of 
8.000.

5 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK 
In all but one sub-block the block adjusted orientation data show 
a clearly higher accuracy for the HRSC points in the overlapping 
area than orientation data adjusted for single strips. In sub-block 
h2169-h5248 the overlapping area is too small to find a sufficient 
number of tie points. All sub-blocks with a mean intersection 
error notably higher than 10m consist of two image strips with 
different illumination conditions (Fig. 9). 
Overall the adjustment of the exterior orientation in a regional 
block does not only provides results with a high internal accu 
racy for each strip, but also the relative orientation of the strips is 
clearly improved. Additionally the block as a whole is fitted to 
a global reference system, the MOLA DTM. The block adjusted 
orientation data are the most appropriate ones for the subsequent 
derivation of a DTM mosaic or the rectification of ortho-images 
The workflow for systematic bundle adjustment of HRSC image 
data was used to improve the exterior orientation of single strips 
and a regional block. It has been shown that for 2329 single strips 
a significant improvement was achieved. A block comprising 21 
HRSC strips was simultaneously adjusted and the results were 
evaluated to demonstrate the stability of the overlapping areas. 
The automated implementation of the workflow and the parallel 
processing using the performance of a university computing cen 
ter allow to locate stable overlapping areas in all available HRSC 
strips in a systematic way. The results of this analysis can be used 
to design larger regional blocks. It is also possible to investigate 
blocks of strips connected to rings around the equator and if gaps 
in the HRSC data are filled with images from other missions a 
closed global block completely covering the Martian surface.
