Planetary Orbital Mapping and Mosaicking (POMM) Integrated Open Source Software Environment

Several Open Source planetary orbital mapping and utility image processing software packages, including, VICAR, AFIDS, ISIS, GDAL, and GeoTIFF, have been integrated into a single software environment (POMM), where package programs can be run independently from a Linux command line, or combined in synergistic scripts that facilitate advanced trans-package applications. Several integrated scripts have been prepared to simplify some of the more difficult database building tasks such as 1) image co-registration (for stacking and time series analysis), 2) mosaicking (for regional analysis), and 3) map-projection of raw PDS images for selected Mars and Luna sensor systems. A user interface/GUI is provided for the three planetary applications, but the underlying scripts can also be modified by an advanced user and run at the command-line. POMM is Open Source software available in “docker” container and “Yum-Install” versions that support cross-platform installation on Windows, Apple, and Linux products using available desktop applications and/or virtual containers. However, installation on systems requiring emulation can be slow, and the installation process can be challenging.

多款开源行星轨道测绘与实用图像处理软件包（涵盖VICAR、AFIDS、ISIS、GDAL及GeoTIFF）已被集成至统一软件环境POMM中。在此环境中，各软件包程序既可通过Linux命令行独立运行，也可协同组合为脚本以支持高级跨包应用。目前已开发多款集成脚本，用于简化部分难度较高的数据库构建任务，具体包括：1）图像共配准（用于图像叠加与时序分析）、2）图像拼接（用于区域分析），以及3）针对选定火星与月球传感器系统的原始PDS图像的地图投影。该环境为三类行星应用提供了用户界面（GUI），高级用户亦可修改底层脚本并通过命令行运行。POMM为开源软件，提供“Docker容器”与“Yum安装”两种版本，支持通过现有桌面应用及/或虚拟容器在Windows、Apple及Linux系统上实现跨平台安装。但在需要仿真的系统上进行安装时，速度通常较慢，且安装过程存在一定挑战。
