Using Laser Altimetry to Finely Map the Permanently Shadowed Regions of the Lunar South Pole Using an Iterative Self-Constrained Adjustment Strategy

Laser altimeters are capable of achieving fine mapping of the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the Moon, which can provide fundamental topographic data for planetary missions. However, various factors can cause uncertainty in the geolocation of laser spots, which in turn causes terrain artifac...
