Stereophotoclinometry
Stereophotoclinometry is a technique used to generate ultra-high resolution digital elevation models (DEM) from images. This is typically used in NASA spacecraft missions to asteroids and comets. It has also been used for making DEMs of the Moon and the Earth.
It was created by Dr. Robert Gaskell who works at the Planetary Science Institute.
The Planetary Science Institute maintains and distributes the software for Stereophotoclinometry in both binary and source code, https://spc.psi.edu. The software has a US Commodity Classification of EAR99 and is available for scientific and commercial use. Previous restrictions under U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) do not apply.
