Stereo Reconstruction from Apollo 15 and 16 Metric Camera

چکیده
This paper presents the production of digital terrain models (DTMs) and digital image mosaics (DIMs) of the Lunar surface that cover a large portion of the near-side of the Moon at 40 m/px and 10 m/px respectively. These data products, produced under direction of the NASA ESMD Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project (LMMP), are based on 2600 stereo image pairs from the Apollo 15 and 16 missions that were digitized at high resolution from the original mission films [1]. Our reconstruction was carried out using the highly automated Ames Stereo Pipeline software [2], which runs on NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer.

Preliminary Stereo Reconstruction from Apollo 15 Metric Camera Imagery
Introduction: The NASA ESMD Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project (LMMP) has been charged with producing cartographic products for use by mission planners and scientists in NASA’s Constellation program. As part of the LMMP, we have produced 70 preliminary Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and orthoimages derived from Apollo 15 Metric Camera (AMC) orbit 33 imagery using the Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP); ...
متن کاملPhotometric Recovery of Ortho-Images Derived from Apollo 15 Metric Camera Imagery
The topographical and photometric reconstruction of the moon from Apollo metric data has gained attention to support manned mission planning since the NASA has been working on return to the moon in 2004. This paper focuses on photometric recovery of the moon surface from Apollo orbital imagery. The statistical behavior of photons generates the scene radiance which follows a continuous Poisson d...
متن کاملOrthographic Stereo Correlator on the Terrain Model for Apollo Metric Images
A stereo correlation method on the object domain is proposed to generate the accurate and dense Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from lunar orbital imagery. The NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group (IRG) aims to produce high-quality terrain reconstructions of the Moon from Apollo Metric Camera (AMC) data. In particular, IRG makes use of a stereo vision process, the Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP), to...
متن کامل3D Reconstruction of Plant/Tree Canopy Using Monocular and Binocular Vision
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a tree canopy is an important step in order to measure canopy geometry, such as height, width, volume, and leaf cover area. In this research, binocular stereo vision was used to recover the 3D information of the canopy. Multiple images were taken from different views around the target. The Structure-from-motion (SfM) method was employed to recover the ca...
متن کاملStereo Calibration from Rigid Motions
This paper describes a method to upgrade projective reconstruction to a ne and to metric reconstructions using rigid general or planar motions of a stereo rig. We make clear the algebraic relationships between projective reconstruction, the plane at in nity (a ne reconstruction), camera calibration, and metric reconstruction when a 3-D scene is observed with a moving stereo rig. Based on an in-...
