Kodiak Butte, Jezero crater (Mars)

3D ModelNoAI

This is a Digital Outcrop Model of the Kodiak Butte, situated south of the main delta front in the Jezero crater (Mars). The model is the result of an imaging experiment aiming at reconstructing 3D models using long-distance individual frames taken using the 563-mm Remote Micro Imager telescope of the SuperCam instrument onboard the M2020 Perseverance rover.

This model was computed using images taken during sols 63 and 248 from between 2 and 2.5 km away from the butte during the early exploration of the crater floor unit.

This is the very first result at producing a 3D model using long-distance RMI imagery in Jezero, allowing to observe the characteristic geometry of pro-delta deposits within the butte.
