3D anaglyph image of the Angustus Labyrinthus region
So-called anaglyph images can be generated from the nadir channel of the HRSC camera, operated by DLR on the ESA Mars Express spacecraft. The nadir channel is directed vertically onto the surface of Mars and is one of four oblique stereo or photometric channels. When using red-blue or red-green glasses, they enable a three-dimensional view of the landscape and give the viewer a spatial idea of its height differences. In this way, the polygons of the 'Inca city', the structure of the table mountains and the high plateaus of the region can be clearly observed.
