Internal morphology point clouds of lunar pits

<p>This archive contains point clouds showing the internal geometry of six pits on the Moon.&nbsp; These point clouds were generated via manual feature matching in &quot;oblique stereo pairs&quot;: pairs of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Narrow Angle Camera (LROC NAC) images at two different off-nadir angles observing one wall of a pit under similar lighting conditions.&nbsp; These images have pixel scales of ~0.3-2.2 m/pixel, allowing the creation of point clouds with point spacing on the order of 5-10 m, depending on the density of identifiable features on the pit walls.</p> <p>The manually-generated point clouds from multiple stereo pairs have been merged together, and aligned to and merged with dense digital terrain models (DTMs) from more nadir-looking NAC stereo images where available, to produce point clouds that cover the upper walls, floors, and immediate surroundings of the pits.</p> <p>For a full description of the processing method, see Wagner and Robinson (2022), linked in this archive&#39;s metadata.</p> <p>This archive contains models for the following pits:<br> Lacus Mortis Pit (LMP)<br> Mare Ingenii Pit (MIP)<br> Mare Tranquillitatis Pit (MTP)<br> Marius Hills Pit (MHP)<br> Schl&uuml;ter Crater Pit (SCP)<br> Southwest Mare Fecunditatis Pit (SWFP)</p>
