Fit empirical photometric functions to Hapke model at a single point
Overview
Parameters
Example 1
Description
This program finds lunar-Lambert or Minnaert photometric functions
to approximate a more realistic but complex Hapke model. The fit
is performed at a single geometry rather than for a range of phase
angles. The user specifies the phase,
incidence and emission angles of the mean ground plane (datum),
as well as the root mean squared (RMS) slope relative to the datum.
Artificial data are then created, with slopes drawn from an isotropic
Gaussian distribution relative to the datum. The simpler model is fit at
these orientations (phase, incidence, and emission angles) to the
Hapke model by adjusting the limb-darkening and the overall brightness
so that the sum-squared-residual between the two
is minimized. Both the parameter (which, for both types of simple model,
mainly controls limb darkening) and the brightness (normalized as an
empirical phase curve) are reported.
Phoemplocal requires the user to input a set of parameters for the Hapke
model, and the results for a single point are returned by the program.
The input parameter values and the results for the limb-darkening parameter (L),
best fit multiplier, and the RMS error of fit are reported to an output file.
The results can be used for photoclinometry application.

The output file will contain the phase angle,
best-fit limb darkening parameter, best-fit brightness both in absolute units
and relative to the zero phase model and RMS residual to the fit.
If this option is selected, the results will be appended to an existing
file specified as the "TO" file. If "APPEND" is not selected, the output
information defaults and overwrites the existing "TO" file.
The text entered by the user is added to the output file. The note
should include some helpful information that lets the user know
what types of data the results would be applied to, such as
the planet and instrument filter. The input parameter settings
should also be included in the note as a record.
A Hapke (1981; 1984; 1986) photometric model is always used as the model
to which empirical functions are fitted. The options correspond to variants
of the Hapke model with different types of model for the single particle
phase (scattering) function.

This is a two-term Legendre Polynomial expansion of the single

The small scale surface roughness value in degrees. "Macroscopic roughness"
of the surface as it affects the photometric behavior, used for hapkehen
or hapkeleg. This is the root mean squared (RMS) slope at scales larger
than the distance photons penetrate the surface but smaller than a pixel,
see Hapke (1986). The roughness correction is evaluated if theta is given
any value other than 0.0, but is extremely slow.
Asymmetry parameter used in Hapke Henyey-Greenstein model
for the scattering phase function of single particles in the
surface. See Hapke (1981). The two-parameter Henyey-Greenstein
function is:
The Hapke Henyey-Greenstein coefficient for a single particle phase
function. The second parameter of the two-parameter Henyey-Greenstein
model for the scattering phase function of single particles in the
surface. This parameter controls the proportions in a linear
mixture of ordinary Henyey-Greenstein phase functions with asymmetry
parameters equal to +hg1 and -hg1. See HG1 for the full formula.
The Hapke Legendre coefficient for a single particle phase
function. A two-term Legendre polynomial is used for the scattering
phase function of single particles in the surface:
Where p1 and p2 are the first and second order Legendre polynomials.
Bh is not to be confused with the Legendre coefficient bha of the
phase function for atmospheric particles, used when
atmname=anisotropic1 or anisotropic2.

Description
LUNARLAMBERT
LunarLambert photometric function
Fit the LunarLambert photometric function to the Hapke Model to
derive the parameters for the LunarLambertEmpirical photometric
function. The LunarLambertEmpirical model as defined by
McEwen (1991) and used by the program Photomet is
Fit the Minnaert photometric function to the Hapke Model to
derive the parameters for the MinnaertEmpirical photometric
function. The MinnaertEmpirical model as defined by
McEwen (1991) and used by the program photomet is
func=b(phase) * u0**k(phase) * u**(k(phase)-1)
where phase is the phase angle,
and u0 and u are the cosines of the
incidence and
emission angles, respectively.
If an option other than NONE is selected, an atmospheric scattering
and surface photometric properties are included as
part of the physical model to which the empirical model is fitted.
Six available atmospheric models are categorized into three
classes that differ in their treatment of the single particle
scattering function for atmospheric particles. Each of these classes
of model can be evaluated to a first order (faster) or second order
(more accurate) approximation. Atmospheric scattering in all these
models both attenuates the surface signal and adds its own (uniform)
contribution to the image radiance.
Therefore, unless NONE is selected, it makes sense to also set
ADDOFFSET=YES so that the additive contribution of the atmosphere
will be modeled by an additive constant in the fit. This approach
is useful in preparing for photoclinometry (shape from shading),
for which images are normally preprocessed by subtracting a uniform
haze component that corresponds to the additive term in the fit with
ADDOFFSET=YES.

Atmospheric particles are assumed to scatter light according to

of the surface scattering parameter HG1 for the equation that
combines two such functions for surface particles). The effects
of this scattering are approximated by using a first order solution
for multiple scattering by isotropic particles and making a
correction to the distribution of singly scattered radiation. The
model is called HAPKEATM1 because this correction for the single
particle phase function is similar to the one developed by Hapke
(1981) for surface scattering.

of this scattering are approximated by using a second order solution

Parameter used in the Henyey-Greenstein single particle phase
function for atmospheric particles when ATMNAME=HAPKEATM1 or
ATMNAME=HAPKEATM2. This is the asymmetry parameter for a single
term Henyey-Greenstein model:
Coefficient of the first order Legendre polynomial in the
single particle phase function for atmospheric scattering.
When ATMNAME=ANISOTROPIC1 or ATMNAME=ANISOTROPIC2, a two-term
Legendre polynomial expansion is used to represent the
scattering phase function of single particles in the atmosphere:
p(phase) = 1 + bha * p1(cos(phase))
Where, P1 is the first order Legendre polynomial, and not to be
confused with the corresponding parameter BH for the surface.
Atmospheric shell thickness normalized to planet radius, used
to correct the path lengths of atmospheric transmission for the
spherical geometry of the planet. Default 0.003 is for Mars.
This is the emission angle of the
ground plane obtained from a representative point on an image. The
emission angle is the measurement between the local vertical and
the vector from the point on the ground to the spacecraft.
This is the phase angle obtained from
a representative point on an image. The phase angle is a measurement
between the vector from the representative point to the sun and the
vector from that point to the spacecraft.
This is the incidence angle of the
ground plane obtained from a representative point on an image. The
incidence angle is the measurement between the local vertical and
the vector from the point on the ground to the sun.
The fit will be performed over a set of synthesized data with
different orientations. Each component (E-W and N-S) of slope
of these data points is normally distributed with a mean of
zero and a standard deviation given by this parameter. The fit
results should be only weakly dependent on this parameter.
If enabled, this program uses the user defined number as the starting
seed for the random number generator which is used to generate
slopes at which the fit is performed, allowing the same random number
sequence to be used multiple times for testing purposes. If disabled,
the random number sequence will be initialized from the system clock
and the numbers will be different each time the program is run.
