Truth topography: flat-topped cone with 20deg slope.
Image suite: One 5cm resolution image for each Sun&S/C combination:
- Sun at 45deg, 0, -45deg; S/C at every 20deg Azimuth, 45deg Zenith.
 
Model bigmap parameters: GSD = 5cm, Q = 49 (width=4.9m).
Results
Note: Image auto-alignment conducted after iteration 30 and 50.
