I just received the following from Shin-ichi Sobue at JAXA:
QUOTE The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) released data from the lunar explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE) (L2 products) during the nominal operation phase (from December 21, 2007 to October 31, 2008) to the public through the Internet. I wish I could post some images but I'm having a bit of trouble with the Data Archive website -- got registered OK, but my searches seem to return database errors. And I couldn't seem to find my way to Terrain Camera data. Perhaps it's because my brain is somewhat mushy from a day of football and beer But I give up for the night and give you guys the link in the hopes you can figure out how to get pretty pictures out of this website!L2 products are calibrated/validated processed data from KAGUYA science mission instruments. By using the L2 products, researchers all over the world are expected to advance the scientific analysis and applicability investigation of the Moon. "KAGUYA 3D Moon NAVI" services, which can show KAGUYA data using a three-dimension geographic information system (WebGIS) through the Internet, have also commenced. The developed software is based on NASA "World Wind" and the KAGUYA's images and data can be displayed using the 3D map projection function. It is necessary to download and install the free software. Please refer to the following homepage for details. L2 products during the extended operational phase (until June 2009) are scheduled to be released after processing and calibration/validation are finished. 【KAGUYA(SELENE) Data Archive】 http://www.soac.selene.isas.jaxa.jp/ 【KAGUYA 3D Moon NAVI】 http://wms.selene.jaxa.jp/3dmoon/index.html I've attached the whole doc that Shin-ichi sent me, which contains a little more info about the data sets in the release. --Emily

The best analogy I can come up with is the values in HRSC Dems - which a guy on HRSC kindly wrote an IDL routine to churn into something usefull
QUOTE hrsc2tif A tool to convert HRSC PDS- or VICAR-format files to TIFF format. For DTMs, the 16-bit signed integers are converted to 16-bit unsigned integers by adding 32768. Limitation: only converts files small enough to be read into RAM. The software requires installation of the free IDL virtual machine, and runs on all common platforms. This data set is in km if i remember, so it would need to be multiplied by 1000 first - than then have the negative value of the lowest negative altitude added (i.e. if the lowest is -1580 metres, add 1580 to make them all positive values starting at 0) To be honest, just a raw array of values normally can be convinced to work with ImageJ or Photoshop. |
