About

Piluca Caballo is a leading expert in planetary robotics vision processing and immersive geospatial data visualization for space exploration. Her research focuses on the generation and analysis of three-dimensional data products from stereo camera systems on Mars rovers, enabling scientists to reconstruct and study the Martian surface in unprecedented detail. Caballo’s most cited work, published in 2023, details the three-dimensional data preparation and immersive mission-spanning visualization of Mars 2020 Mastcam‑Z stereo image sequences—a foundational contribution that has already garnered 25 citations. She is a key developer of the Planetary Robotics Vision Processing framework (PRoViP), a tool that transforms raw stereo imagery into actionable 3D models for geological and aeolian analysis. Her achievements include enabling real-time, immersive exploration of Martian terrain, which has directly supported the Mars 2020 mission’s scientific objectives. Caballo’s work bridges robotics, computer vision, and planetary science, empowering researchers to interact with remote environments as if they were there. Her innovative approach to data preparation and visualization continues to shape how we explore and understand other worlds.
