Christ, Nick, the creation of super-resolution images from lower resolution images is so widely done that the only amazing thing is that NASA did not do any of it on any of the Viking images for 30 years. Absolutely zip, zero, nada damn thing, for 30 years....

no better surface images from orbit...

no color corrections to white light...

no atmospheric dust loading studies...

no super-resolution images of Viking 1 or Viking 2 landing sites...

no shadow analysis for 3 dimensional landscape reconstruction...

One result of this is that NASA dreams up its surface ages for Mars...

which allows some there to set their impact statistics exactly where they want them, which is far too low...

another effect is it allows others to claim spherules are unique to one area, and the product of water based actions...

4 months to go...
