When I was trying to help stitch telescope images from a sky survey I looked at the kind of metadata astronomers have and use for their imagery, and compared to that our lens and projection data are child's play.

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Curiosity''s panoramic images
In addition to the fact that the camera specifications were developed in 2004, another factor is the bandwidth for transmission. Mars is a long way away. Its not a T1 high speed connection. And as far as the software, what developed into the gigapan software was what was used on the last round on Mars exploration. I'd be surprised they aren't using the same software given the planning cycles involved.
