Abstract: International audience ; The Curiosity Mars rover spent more than 70 sols to investigate the Mont Mercou outcrop in Gale crater in 2021 [1], capturing a unique set of image data with wide spatial coverage and high overlap. This allowed us to create a high resolution 3D Digital Outcrop Model (DOM) using 6825 images from the rover's Mastcam and Navcam instruments with a Structure from Motion (SfM) process. This process is often difficult and time intensive, so we developed a new Python-based pre-processing pipeline to make the creation of large DOMs more straightforward.
