SDEM renderings at 5 m pix⁻¹ show higher fidelity to LROC NAC images than their LDEM counterparts, as shown by the example in panel (A). A comparison of the root mean square error (RMSE, B) and structural similarity (SSIM, C) metrics for ∼380 NAC images (Selected, S, and Not Selected, NS) across all regions also shows the improved predictive power of the SDEMs for terrain analyses and operational planning.
