Rabe Crater in 3D
Rabe Crater in 3D
The nadir channel, which is directed vertically down onto the surface of Mars, and one of the four stereo channels in the DLR-operated HRSC camera system, can be used to create anaglyph images, which produce a realistic, three-dimensional view of the landscape when viewed with red/blue or red/green glasses. This image shows Rabe Crater, with a black dune field at its centre. The data used to create this image was acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) during orbits 2441 and 12,736 of Mars Express. The image resolution is about 15 metres per pixel.
