I've been trying to determine good potential landing zones on the lunar north pole but obviously I need more data then just level areas. My goal is to find how much light gets into different craters on the lunar north pole and what areas receive more then the usual 2 weeks of light. My plan of attack is to take 1 image each orbit from the lroc of the polar region and compile them into a video. Then averaging each pixel data value out to black or white and taking the final black area and overlaying it onto a topography map of that area, there by determining how much light is most likely to have entered that region and then eliminating the areas that are touched by light as sources of ice (obviously). A different approach for how much light an area receives another process however. The problem is not the programming, its the data to begin with. I don't know where to find the pictures I need. They must be in high resolution, and it would be best if they were from the same angle. Seeing as the LRO orbits right above the lunar poles, I don't think it would be too much of a problem. If any one could point me in the right direction I would be appreciative.

I'm a little new here, but I have been working with .img files for a little bit and have some questions. I've been working on a project to make 3d maps of the lunar northern pole and have used Jim Mosher's PDS .IMG Reader to get the grey height maps I needed. I then uploaded that into an engine called Unity 3D. Problem is the data is messed up a little. I was told some one here had found a soulution to the stitch lines seen here:

Most of what I've worked with in the way of pictures can be seen here: http://s1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj557/engineer817/, but I think that its pretty self explanatory. I need a way of getting rid of these stitch lines. I've started studying gimp and its library of functions and am planing on finding the edges, deleting them then taking averages from either side of the problem area and making an average slope to fill in the blanks. I know that the problems are about 50 meters across as they are 10 pixels, at 5m/pxl, so I am not sure about the result it might be. still it would save me some work if there was a process already made. I guess I'm just wondering if any one has any advice for this project. Thanks.

also wondering what a dynamic page is. it won't allow the pictures to be inserted for that reason.
