Juno's close approach of Io, during the inbound branch of the Perijove-57 Jupiter flyby, allowed Juno's visible light imager, JunoCam, to take a short sequence of close-up Io images at a cadence of about one minute. Consecutive images cover overlapping areas on Io from different angles. The parallax effect is definitely perceptible for several of the highest mountains. The images also show shadows cast by some of the mountains onto their much flatter surroundings. Varying shading, to be distinguished from albedo and color variability, returns small-scale inclination data. Mountains imaged near Io's limb reveal distinctive silhouettes. We use all these ingredients to retrieve relative elevation data from JunoCam's close-up Io images. We will summarize the available data, the applied methods, and our derived digital terrain results.
