Wide-baseline stereo vision for Mars rovers

In order to perform localization and navigation over significant distances (up to a few kilometers), it is important to be able to accurately map the terrain to be traversed. Local methods, such as conventional stereo, do not scale well to large distances and prevent longrange planning. In this paper, we discuss wide-baseline stereo techniques for rovers. In wide-baseline stereo, the image pair...

Mrams Today – One Example of Current Mars Mesoscale Modeling Capabilities

Introduction: Currently there exist a number of Mars mesoscale atmospheric models (e.g., [1], [2], [3]), with many more in development and/or testing around the world. In light of this burgeoning worldwide use of such models, it may be useful to describe some of the capabilities that a current Mars mesoscale model may possess. This will be accomplished here by reviewing notable changes and addi...

Ecologies of e-Infrastructures

Vidar Hepsø BI Norwegian School of Management We present and discuss a historical reconstruction of the development of a Microsoft SharePoint eInfrastructure in NorthOil (2003 – 2008). The eInfrastructure was to support strategically emphasized work processes and open up a richer context of decision-making around production optimization. Specifically, the new eInfrastructure was to make it more...
