The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera offers unprecedented image quality, giving us a view of the Red Planet in a way never before seen. It’s the most powerful camera ever to leave Earth’s orbit. HiRISE offers three data sets, the Experiment Data Record (EDR) data set, the Reduce Data Record (RDR), and the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data set (in addition, ODE presents the Anaglyphs as a fourth data type - see below). EDRs are raw images from the spacecraft. RDRs are combined and processed images based on several EDRs. DTMs are sets of digital elevation models along with the ortho images used to create them. Search on both to find products of either type. Most users will want to use the RDRs.

Experimental Data Records - raw camera image. See EDR Product Software Interface Specification (SIS). |

Reduced Data Records - Combined and processed radiometically-corrected, geometrically-mapped images based on several EDRs. Note: HiRISE changed the RDR format in mid-2008 to include embedded map projection information within the JPEG 2000 files. This allows the files to be easily projected in GIS tools such as ESRI's ArcGIS. The change is ignored by tools that do not use embedded map projections. These changes are described in version 1.2 of the HIRISE RDR Product Software Interface Specification (SIS) (PDF. Products without the embedded map projection information are in the data set MRO-M-HIRISE-3-RDR-V1.0 and projects with the embedded map projection information are in the data set MRO-M-HIRISE-3-RDR-V1.1. Overtime, HiRISE expects to replace all older V1.0 products with newer V1.1 versions. In the mean time, ODE offers both. Versions 1.0 products can be searched with the RDR product type and Version 1.1 products can be searched with the RDRV11 product type. As of 3/26/11 - there are only 11 RDR V1.0 products. Most RDR products are Version 1.1 See page 20 of the RDR Product Software Interface Specification (SIS). |

Digital Terrain Models - Digital terrain models along with ortho images used to create them. Note: the DTMs made up several products. To easily get the related products, select the related products tab of the product result page. See page 32 of RDR Product Software Interface Specification (SIS). |

Anaglyph products. These products are offered in the Extras portion of the HiRISE archive. They are presented by ODE as a separate data type to facilitate search and download. |

Additional Resources
Note: HiRISE products are stored at the PDS HiRISE Data Node. Please read more about the use of products stored at other PDS nodes in the “Why are there differences between HiRISE, CTX, and the other ODE products” section.
HiRISE is one of the instruments that participate in MRO coordinated observations and can be correlated with CRISM and CTX images through the MRO Coordinated Observation tool under the Tools tab.
You may also search HiRISE images through the PDS Cartography and Imaging Sciences Discipline Node's MRO-specific image search capability. The ODE website complements the PDS Cartography and Imaging Sciences Discipline Node's Atlas website by providing cross mission and instrument searches for imaging and non-imaging data products.
