They should eventually release a series of regular-quality images taken sequentially as the camera pans left and right, and have a competition to see who can squeeze the most resolution out of them using image enhancement and fusion techniques. There are lots of interesting stochastic methods out there (e.g. "compressed sensing") that have application for this kind of thing. It would make a great academic competition.



During one of the press conferences Ravine mentioned they had hundreds of images of a single spot on the ground taken by MARDI, the descent camera, after it had landed and that a member of his team was working on using those to build a super-resolution image of the surface. I like the idea of a competition though.
