For
Lunar imagery analysts and GIS researchers
Worth noticing
The pipeline uses RANSAC and coverage checks to reject transforms that only fit one corner of an image.

Field notes

The documented workflow combines local contrast equalisation with learned terrain matching, keypoint pairing, area correlation, and geometric verification. It accepts PDS4, GeoTIFF, and PNG inputs when the sensor product supplies ground-sample-distance information, then writes the result in the reference projection. The page also describes coverage gates that reject fits clustered in one corner, rather than treating any apparent match as sufficient.
