Abstract

Quantifying surface roughness may contribute significantly in the stratigraphic study of the Moon. We demonstrate the root mean square (RMS) deviation method as an indicator of topographic roughness on a kilometer scale, using stereo images from an Apollo Mapping Camera in a Digital Terrain Model, and compare three regions in the lunar highlands.
