The possibility of adapting existing human/computer hybrid hardware that form topographic maps through stereophotogrammetric models to radar images is examined. The analysis models a stripcamera flown parallel to the radar azimuthal direction, and has application to the Mission plan of the Venus Radar Mapper, with a worst case radar resolution estimated to be 75-100 m. The radar image perspective is found to mimic the photographic image obtained with a suitably positioned camera, providing that the characteristic relief subtends to a very small angle at the radar and at the fictitious camera, and that the photogrammetric model parameters are determined a priori. The ordinary stereo convergence points for radar images are treated as orthographic projections rather than wide-field optical images.
