Abstract
========
The MESSENGER MDIS DEMs are derived products. A DEM is a gridded
(raster) product that records elevation values of a given terrain in
each pixel. Corresponding metadata include map projection information so
pixels can be associated with latitude and longitude. Values are
measured relative to the planetary geoid reference radius of 2,439.4 km
(i.e. elevation).
Generally, the MESSENGER DEM products described here are derived from
MESSENGER MDIS image data. The DEMs are typically derived using stereo
photogrammetry (i.e., stereo pairs or sets) techniques.
The primary PDS product is a DEM provided in both PDS image (.IMG) and
JPEG 2000 (.JP2) format files. Associated with some of the DEM products
is a list of lower-level MDIS products provided either as an
accompanying table (*.TAB) file or as text (*.TXT) files in the EXTRAS
directory. |
