- Description:
- Lynn Quam for creating an image retrieval system for planetary exploration. Lynn Quam and his colleagues developed an image indexing scheme for planetary exploration and picture differencing techniques to facilitate identification of things that changed over time. This was used by Carl Sagan and other astronomers who visited SAIL every few weeks to evaluate satellite photographs of Mars. Quam successfully solved the problem of detecting small changes in the planet surface in the presence of several extraneous factors. His system was subsequently applied to pictures of Mars taken by the Mariner 9 spacecraft while the mission was in progress.
