Computational method for merging coarser- and finer-scale terrain-height data developed. Terrain-height data from aerial photographs merged with similar data on finer scale estimated from stereoscopic-vision and wheel-sensor outputs on robotic vehicle. Intended for use in guiding motions of proposed Mars rover vehicle, underlying concept applicable to such other problems as guiding semiautonomous robotic land vehicles in general and merging different topographical maps containing partly conflicting and/or partly unreliable data on same terrain.
