Automated localisation of Mars rovers using co-registered HiRISE-CTX-HRSC orthorectified images and wide baseline Navcam orthorectified mosaics

•New techniques and applications of automated optical co-registration based rover localisation methods with examples from MER-A, MER-B, and MSL.•We retrieve rover locations through co-registration from orbital to ground co-ordinates to bring everything into the same unique and common geo-referenced coordinate system with respect to HRSC and MOLA.•The multi-sensor co-registration based method guarantees a global compliance that does not have accumulated error in network based localisation approaches.•The results are a set of co-registered ORI/DTMs from HiRISE, CTX, and HRSC and updated rover locations for the full traverses of the three rover missions.•The products can be interactively explored and analysed using our 3D viewer and web-GIS system introduced in this paper.
