چکیده
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); a software tool that generates high quality DTMs from orbital imagery using a fully automated process. This is the first milestone in a 3-year effort to process the entire AMC data set consisting of over 8,000 stereo image pairs. The AMC data set was selected for processing based on the following criteria:

Photometric 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 کاملStereo Reconstruction from Apollo 15 and 16 Metric Camera
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...
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 Lunar Terrain Reconstruction from Apollo Images
Generating accurate three dimensional planetary models is becoming increasingly important as NASA plans manned missions to return to the Moon in the next decade. This paper describes a 3D surface reconstruction system called the Ames Stereo Pipeline that is designed to produce such models automatically by processing orbital stereo imagery. We discuss two important core aspects of this system: (...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Dense 3D Reconstruction from Stereo Imagery
In this paper we propose a novel method for largescale dense 3D reconstruction from stereo imagery. Assuming that stereo camera calibration and camera motion are known, our method is able to reconstruct accurately dense 3D models of urban environments in the form of point clouds. We take advantage of recent stereo matching techniques that are able to build dense and accurate disparity maps from...
