findmatch - Create pdf for MATCHPT of overlapping Clementine images
Read through a list of Clementine images, find the overlapping pairs and
create a PDF to run MATCHPT.  (MATCHPT will attempt to find 3 matching
points automatically on each pair of overlapping images.)  The PDF must
be run to put match points on image labels.  If a single list is
entered, all overlapping images will be found and put in the PDF.  If
two lists are entered, a single image from the first list will be
matched to a single image from the second list.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Parm	Description
FROMLIST	This is a file containing a list of cube file names from one orbit in the first month, one per line. The names can be up to 128 characters. The last image will not appear in the temp.pdf because it gets input via overlap with the second to the last image. Don't use a list of one image.
FROM2LIST	This is a file containing a list of cube file names from one orbit in the second month, one per line. The names can be up to 128 characters. This list is optional. If only FROM- LIST is entered, all overlapping images will be found and put in the PDF. If two lists are entered, a single image from the FROMLIST will be matched to a single image from the FROM2LIST list. The last image will not appear in the temp.pdf because it gets input via overlap with the second to the last image. Don't use a list of one image.
TO	This is a pdf file which will run MATCHPT on the overlapping cubes. The overlap is determined by the SPICE information on the labels of the cubes, so if the SPICE information is bad, the cubes might not actually overlap even though a pair is listed as overlapping or vice versa.
NO3FIL	The NO3FIL is used by MATCHPT to list overlapping images that have less than 3 overlapping points. This file can be entered in MULTIMATCH to pick points manually.
SBOX	SBOX is the box size in the sample direction in MATCHPT that is used to search for overlapping points.
LBOX	LBOX is the box size in the line direction in MATCHPT that is used to search for overlapping points.
STOL	STOL is the maximum amount of offset in the sample direction that MATCHPT will use in trying to find a match point.
LTOL	LTOL is the maximum amount of offset in the line direction that MATCHPT will use in trying to find a match point.
FITTOL	FITTOL is the fit tolerance used in MATCHPT to determine how good the fit is between two points.
LOW	LOW is the minimum valid pixel value used in MATCHPT for the sub-pixel registration. If null (--) is used, MATCHPT will set LOW to VALID_MIN4.
DOSD	This parameter controls whether the standard deviation ratio will be used to determine if a match point is good or not. For more information about how this ratio is calculated see MATCHPT general help section.
HIST	Disable the processing history text. This will improve the efficiency if a large number of images are being matched.
FAIL	If FAIL=YES, the procedure will continue if any program fails. If FAIL=NO, the procedure will not continue.
