Let’s go to Mars! This video shows how I used Photoscan to generate a 3D model from stereoscopic images taken on Mars by the NASA Curiosity Rover. I was able to generate this model by using a process known as photogrammetry and one of the three pairs of stereo images taken during Sol 1000.
You can download the same data by selecting left and right navcams on this JPL website. In the future I’d like to make an interface that allows me to simply pick from days on which Curiosity recorded stereo imagery, I plan to use this new NASA Mars Photo API to accomplish that request from the JPL servers.
