The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Experiment Data Record Wide Angle Camera – VIS (EDRWAC) data product is a WAC 5-band visible/near infrared (VIS) color image corresponding to a series of framelets, with Digital Number (DN) counts in 8-bit format, companded from 11-bit in the instrument. Each framelet is in row-major order. The EDRWAC stores multispectral framelets in a single band.
The WAC has two lenses imaging onto the same 1024 x 1024 pixel, electronically shuttered CCD area-array, one image in the VIS, and the other in the Ultraviolet (UV). In color mode, only the center 704 x 14 visible pixels, are read out for each band.
The image file consists of frames in row-major order with a 4 byte validity marker separating each frame. If compression was enabled at image acquisition, the data stream is first decompressed before further processing is performed. Information from the meta-file, housekeeping, and the SOC database are combined to generate the PDS label that combined with the binary data to produce the EDR file.
