Tutorial on LuNaMaps Developed Tools andProcesses for Mapping the Lunar Surface

The main contribution of this project is the combined knowledge of terrain relative navigation experts and lunar scientists who are familiar with both the lunar orbital imagery and the instruments that collected the data as well as how a TRN system utilizes map data. This knowledge comes in the form of published technical papers, benchmark map data sets, and software tools that can help others automate the process of creating the necessary maps for their own landing sites in the future. This presentation provides a brief overview of the tools and processes developed by the project.
