Many overlapping pictures, potential data for the construction of topographic maps, were obtained by the television cameras on Mariner 9. An analysis of the sources of error in photogrammetric determinations of relief from these pictures singles out photo resolution as the primary limiting factor. Topographic maps of several Martian surface features, derived by an original analytic scheme, are presented. The observed errors in relief determinations using this technique are in good agreement with the independent error analysis.
