Data Set Abstract |
Abstract ======== The Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) consists
of two cameras, a Wide Angle Camera (WAC) and a Narrow Angle
Camera (NAC), mounted on a common pivot platform. This dataset
includes the Basemap Reduced Data Records. The Map Projected
Basemap RDR (BDR) data set consists of a global map of I/F
measured by the NAC or in WAC filter 7 (both centered near 750
nm) at moderate/high incidence angle, photometrically normalized
to a solar incidence angle (i) = 30 degrees, emission angle (e) =
0 degrees, and phase angle (g) = 30 degrees at a spatial sampling
of 256 pixels per degree. The map is divided into 54 segments or
'tiles', each representing the NW, NE, SW, or SE
quadrant of one of the 13 non-polar or one of the 2 polar
quadrangles or 'Mercury charts' already defined by the
USGS. Each tile also contains 5 backplanes: observation id for
each included image; BDR metric, used to determine the stacking
order of component images; solar incidence angle; emission angle;
and phase angle. |
