Is it a filter in the camera itself? There's no way it would be lying on the ground like this. Also, I have never heard of a contrast calibration pad for the Navcams, care to link to documentation where it is described? Thanks.

It's not a filter... the soil is displaced .. yes it can be lying on the ground, why is that so hard to comprehend? the rover has a robotic arm after all..
I said, please link to documentation that supports the statement that it's a calibration marker.
yep the same kind of thing in superman 2.

It's impossible.
That information is classified TOP SECRET.
Only people who know about camera calibration knows that sort of thing.
