Help for MARSSEEDGEN

PURPOSE:
To generate a set of seed points for use with marscorr.

This program is very similar in function to marstie, and may be replaced
by marstie at any time.  The difference is that this program spreads the
tiepoints around in the first image (first center, then 3/8 to each corner,
then 3/8 to each side) rather than putting them around the edge.  3/8 is
used instead of halfway to keep the points closer to the center, so they
are less likely to hit the edge of the second image.

Each point is then projected to the surface, and projected back into the
second image, to complete the tiepoint.  No correlation is done; only
geometry is used.

EXECUTION:
marsseedgen inp=(left,right) out=left.tie
marscorr inp(left,right) out=left.disp seedfile=left.tie

where:
left is the left eye image of a stereo pair
right is the corresponding right eye image of a stereo pair
left.tie is the tiepoint file (output of this program)
left.disp is the disparity file (output of marscorr)
