description Lunar global mapping products provide a solid data foundation for lunar scientific research and exploration. As the widespread geometric inconsistencies among multi-source mapping products seriously affect the synergistic use of the products, high-precision registration of multiple lunar global products is critical, and it is highly challenging due to large coverage and complex local geometric inconsistencies. In this research, we propose a spherical triangular-mesh-based method for high-precision registration of lunar global mapping products, which involves four steps: data preprocessing, feature point extraction and matching, spherical Delaunay triangulation, and geometric correction with spherical barycentric coordinates. This global registration method avoids map projection distortions by using spherical coordinates directly, and achieves high precision by confining the geometric models to spherical triangular facets. Experiments are conducted using two groups of different types of mapping products to verify the proposed method quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show that the geometric inconsistencies are reduced from hundreds of pixels to sub-pixel level globally after the registration, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.
