Reliable spatial information can be difficult to obtain in planetary remote sensing applications because of errors present in the metadata of images taken with space probes. We have designed a pipeline to address this problem on disk-resolved images of Jupiter’s moon Europa taken with New Horizons’ LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager, Galileo’s Solid State Imager and Voyager’s Imaging Science Subsystem. We correct for errors in the spacecraft position, pointing and the target’s attitude by comparing them to the same reference. We also address ways to correct for distortion prior to any metadata consideration. Finally, we propose a vectorized method to efficiently project images pixels onto an elliptic target and compute the coordinates and geometry of observation at each intercept point.
