With the increased diversity of planetary images, LIDAR and other remote sensing datasets being returned from international planetary orbiters, a number of new mapping techniques and cartographic issues are beginning to emerge. For example how can we utilize automated feature detection and recognition algorithms for data-mining the vast image datasets being returned? What are the accuracies, and limitations of processed cartographic products intended for science use, how can GIS assist in in mission planning?
