Note: This page has been updated to include information based on unofficial versions of the SPC software. This information is current as of the unofficial 20 May 2019 version of SPC.

Introduction

Bob created a suite of programs that handles linescan (push broom) images. Terik and Carolyn have used this capability extensively for making SPC models of Phobos and Deimos.

Here are notes about how it works and what we've learned.

• lithosx (lithosPx does not work, so landmarks with linescan images must be processed in fat mode).

• registerx

• autoregisterx

• residualss

• geometryx

• residualsx

• mosaic -- While not an X-file-only tool, is heavily used to support data processing

In addition to Bob's software, Terik and Carolyn modified some other programs so that they work with the X versions of the software:

• make_scriptTx

• make_scriptAx

• make_scriptX

• find_nofitTx

• find_nofitX

Specific Object (includes PROCESS_<whatever>)

• LRO_setup -- What is needed to make LRO work

• PROCESS_HIRISE
• PROCESS_HRSC

Specific Projects

• Tsiolkovsky -- First project

• Ingiini - Evaluation of topography of the lunar swirls

Building Photometic Cubes

A Photometric cube is a abstraction of a physical location on a surface in which every image is registered to an SPC bigmap with backplanes.
