************************************************************************ 1. Stereo Pipeline The NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP) is a suite of free and open source automated geodesy and stereogrammetry tools designed for processing stereo imagery captured from satellites (around Earth and other planets), robotic rovers, aerial cameras, and historical imagery, with and without accurate camera pose information. It produces cartographic products, including digital elevation models (DEMs), ortho-projected imagery, 3D models, and bundle-adjusted networks of cameras. ASP's data products are suitable for science analysis, mission planning, and public outreach. Please install USGS ISIS version 3.5.0 if you would like to process NASA non-terrestrial imagery. Users wishing to process Digital Globe, GeoEye, or perspective imagery do not need to download anything else. ************************************************************************ 2. Download ASP releases for Linux and OSX can be downloaded at: http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/tech/asr/intelligent-robotics/ngt/stereo/ or https://github.com/NeoGeographyToolkit/StereoPipeline/releases The latest development builds (see the NEWS file for the most recent additions) can be found at: http://byss.arc.nasa.gov/stereopipeline/daily_build/ ************************************************************************ 3.

Third-Party Libraries This distribution may include some bundled third-party software as a convenience to the user. This software, located in the "thirdparty/" directory of the source code release, is not covered by the above-mentioned distribution agreement or copyright. Binary releases distribute third party software in both the "bin" and "lib" directories. See the included documentation for detailed copyright and license information for any third-party software or check the THIRDPARTYLICENSES file. In addition, various pieces of ASP depend on additional third-party libraries that the user is expected to have installed. ************************************************************************ 4. DOCUMENTATION The primary source of documentation is the Stereo Pipeline Book. The binary distribution contains the book, named "asp_book.pdf", and the source distribution contains the LaTeX source of the book in the docs/book subdirectory. The book includes a gentle introduction to using the Stereo Pipeline, as well as documentation for each of its tools. A copy of this document in PDF format is also available from wherever you obtained this package. ************************************************************************ 5. CONTACTS & CREDITS A. Mailing List All bugs, feature requests, and general discussion should be posted on the ASP support forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ames-stereo-pipeline-support To contact the lead developers and project manager directly, send an email to: stereo-pipeline-owner@lists.nasa.gov B. Credits ASP was developed within the Autonomous Systems and Robotics area of the Intelligent Systems Division at NASA's Ames Research Center. It leverages the Intelligent Robotics Group's (IRG) extensive experience developing surface reconstruction and tools for planetary exploration, e.g., the Mars Pathfinder and Mars Exploration Rover missions, and rover autonomy. It has also been developed in collaboration with the Adaptive Control and Evolvable Systems (ACES) group, and draws on their experience developing computer vision techniques for autonomous vehicle control systems. See the AUTHORS file for a complete list of developers. Complete details for how to reference ASP in your published works can be found in the asp_book.pdf file, and in addition to the recommended references there, in order to help you better cite the specific version of ASP that you are using in a work, we have started using Zenodo to create digital object identifiers (DOIs) for each ASP release. Every new release of ASP will have its own unique DOI, which can be found at this URL: https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/714891
