متن کاملIntegration of Multi-instrumental Data Sets of Kaguya, Lism and Lalt
Introduction: Integration science based on KAGUYA and other missions requires spatial registration of different types of data sets. For example, two types of topographic data sets; Digital Terrain Model (DTM) in 10m/pixel based on stereoscopic images of Terrain Camera (TC) in the Lunar Imager/Spectrometer (LISM) and lunar surface profiles in 1km interval derived from Laser Altimeter (LALT). The...
متن کاملLow-amplitude topographic features and textures on the Moon: Initial results from detrended Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) topography
Global lunar topographic data derived from ranging measurements by the Lunar Oribter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) onboard LRO mission to the Moon have extremely high vertical precision. We use detrended topography as a means for utilization of this precision in geomorphological analysis. The detrended topography was calculated as a difference between actual topography and a trend surface defined as a...
