- LUNAR TERRAIN AND ALBEDO RECONSTRUCTION FROM APOLLO IMAGERY ARA V NEFIAN*, TAEMIN KIM**, MICHAEL BROXTON**, AND ZACH MORATTO**
Abstract. Generating accurate three dimensional planetary models and albedo maps is becoming increasingly more important as
NASA plans more robotics missions to the Moon in the coming years. This paper describes a novel approach for separation of
topography and albedo maps from orbital Lunar images. Our method uses an optimal Bayesian correlator to refine the stereo
disparity map and generate a set of accurate digital elevation models (DEM). The albedo maps are obtained using a multi-image
formation model that relies on the derived DEMs and the Lunar- Lambert reflectance model. The method is demonstrated on a
set of high resolution scanned images from the Apollo era missions.
