Planetary mapping

open access: yesChoice Reviews Online, 1991
Planetary Mapping is a wonderful find for both the researchers who use the planetary and satellite maps and for historians of planetary exploration.Planetary cartography—the art and science of making maps of the moon, planets, and their satellites—represents a crucial step in the exploration of the solar system.

3D POINT CLOUD COMPLETION USING TERRAIN-CONTINUOUS CONSTRAINTS AND DISTANCE-WEIGHTED INTERPOLATION FOR LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023
Stereo vision has been proven to be an efficient tool for 3D reconstruction in lunar topographic mapping. However, point clouds reconstructed from pairs of stereo images always suffer from occlusions and illumination changes, especially in Lunar ...

Extracting accurate terrain in vegetated areas from ICESat-2 data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023
The uncertainty of ICESat-2 terrain accuracy, especially in vegetated areas, limits its scientific application, and there is barely any comprehensive modeling evaluation for this uncertainty.

A Combined Deconvolution and Gaussian Decomposition Approach for Overlapped Peak Position Extraction From Large-Footprint Satellite Laser Altimeter Waveforms

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
In satellite laser altimetry, it is a challenging task to accurately extract peak positions from full waveforms due to the overlapped or weak peaks within the large laser footprints, which substantially affects the subsequent applications.

Reducing spatial autocorrelation in the dynamic simulation of urban growth using eigenvector spatial filtering

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
In cellular automata (CA) based modeling of dynamic urban growth, non-spatial statistical approaches are usually affected by spatial autocorrelation and fail to describe the spatially non-stationary relationships between urban growth and its drivers. The
