= Spacecraft Azimuth Variations =

== Aim and Objectives ==

'''Purpose of Test 11:''' To evaluate SPC's ability to represent a simplified 'boulder' which has a constant 20 degree slope.

'''Objective for Test 11 F, G, H, I & J, Spacecraft Azimuth Variations''' 
 * To investigate the effect of varying the combination of spacecraft azimuths with respect to a landmark contained in the image suite;
 * To investigate the effect of the number of images and viewing conditions.

== Methodology ==

The 'boulder' was simulated by generating a simple axi-symmetric, flat-topped cone (peak) with a constant 20 degree slope. Multiple peaks and (simplified) craters are randomly placed in an otherwise flat landscape of width approx. 22.5m.

'''Entire Truth map:''' REGION.MAP

'''Bigmaps'''

The following TAG1 bigmaps were tiled/iterated and evaluated:

Starting topography defined from: START1.MAP at pixel/line location 49, 49 (= REGION.MAP at p/l 1125, 1125).

||Step||GSD||Overlap Ratio||Q Size||Width||Center||
||START.MAP||20cm||-||49||20m||REGION.MAP p/l 1125, 1125 (center)||
||10cm-Tiling||10cm||1.3||130||20m||START1.MAP, p/l 49, 49||
||5cm-Tiling||5cm||1.3||250||20m||START1.MAP, p/l 49, 49||
||5cm-Iterations||5cm||-||-||20m||START1.MAP, p/l 49, 49||
||Portion Truth Map (011TRU.MAP)||1cm||-||200||4m||REGION.MAP, p/l 996, 1005||

'''Viewing Conditions'''
|| Name || Sun || S/C Az || S/C Zenith || Total Number of Images ||
|| Test11S || 45, 0, -45 || every 45 || 0, 30, 60 || 80 ||
|| Test11T || 45, 0, -45 || every 45 || 0, 20, 40, 60 || 112 ||
|| Test11U || 45, 0, -45 || every 45 || 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 || 144 ||

Note that a larger image suite was planned and produced than was utilized during test. The images for a number of planned viewing conditions were eliminated due to image quality related to the viewing conditions being unfit for SPC. For further details are contained here:
