The Galileo SSI camera acquired high-resolution (less than 100 m/pixel) images in Ganymede's Galileo Regio and Uruk Sulcus region during the encounters in June (G1) and September (G2) 1996. The overlapping images were taken at nearly identical solar illumination and from camera positions separated enough for good stereo geometry. The quality of these images has allowed the authors to perform a photogrammetric analysis of the image data and to derive Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and orthoimages (images rectified based on DTM information) in the covered regions. The researchers present the results of a study of the photometric properties of the surface of Ganymede and the spatial distribution of dark and bright terrain material in its relationship to topographic elevation.
