The paper discusses Viking lander cameras which have an angular resolution of 0.12 deg, and (for broadband imaging) a resolution of 0.04 deg, used for the acquisition of data in six spectral bands for color and near-infrared imaging. Attention is given to photogrammetric calibration techniques used in the determination of spatial and spectral brightness variations from image data. The effects of sampling on the achievable photogrammetric precision are described along with techniques for preflight spectral calibrations and the corrections required for degradation in the infrared response of the detectors. The effects of the known internal reflections on the qualitative images (such as the appearance of artifact clouds) are presented, noting their effects on skyline radiometry. The qualitative and quantitative effects of the signal quantization are briefly reviewed.
