Introduction: Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) onboard Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft produced a large homogeneous data set of precise elevation measurements along MGS tracks [1]. We have used this data set to map and study statistical characteristics of kilometerand subkilometer-scale topography [e.g., 2, 3]. In the present work we use MOLA data set to map and study slope asymmetry o...

A tool development framework for domain-specific languages combining mapping and transformation based approaches is proposed in this research project. The combination of both approaches permits to use advantages and eliminate disadvantages as far as possible. First results are described including draft architecture for the framework implementing proposed ideas. A sketch of mapping definition fa...

Photo ID is a common tool in ecology, but has not previously been attempted for the ocean sunfishes ( Mola spp., Molidae; ‘molids’). The technique, based on body patterns, could potentially be informative studying seasonal occurrence of giant sunfish alexandrini ) Bali reefs (Indonesia), where this species an important drawcard local SCUBA diving tourism. However, molids are capable rapid physi...

Laser altimeters are commonly used in planetary research for their high geodetic accuracy. A key procedure processing of laser altimeter data is the geolocation. In this process, time-of-flight measurements converted to coordinates pulse footprints on surface target body. Here, we present a consistent and systematic formulation three geolocation models with increasing complexity: static model, ...
