title: Dataset for "LOROS: Laboratory Simulations of the Optical RadiOmeter composed of CHromatic Imagers (OROCHI) Experiment of the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) Mission"

description: This is the final dataset for published version.

This dataset hosts the image and numerical data analysed and derived in the accompanying Stabbins & Kameda article for the special issue of Progress in Earth and Planetary Science on instrumentation and preparations for the JAXA Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission. The paper describes and validates the performance of the Laboratory OROCHI Simulator (LOROS).

OROCHI (Optical RadiOmeter composed of CHromatic Imagers) is a multispectral multi-view imaging system for the JAXA MMX spacecraft, that will image Phobos and Deimos across 8 visible and near-infrared spectral channels with unprecedented spatial resolution, recording data that in synergy with the other instruments of the MMX spacecraft and rover will constrain hypotheses on the origin of the Martian moons.

LOROS is a laboratory simulator of OROCHI, constructed from commercial off-the-shelf parts.

The dataset for the characterisation and validation of LOROS is composed of the following sub-sets:

A. Modulation Transfer FunctionB. System ResponseC. Expected Reflectance of Carbonaceous Chondrite & Dark SpectralonD. Radiometric CalibrationE. Dark Spectralon Validation



Dataset A: Modulation Transfer Function
This dataset includes the table of results of MTF measurements of the slant-edge target at 5 different random orientations in the range of ~7--10°:

- mtf_results_07122023.csv


and the region-of-interest images, for each orientation and each LOROS channel, used to perform the analysis via the MTF Mapper software:

- mtf_measurements_07122023


The directory tree of measurements, for the nth orientation, is illustrated below. Region-of-interest images are stored under img, and are averaged over 25 repeat images to minimise random noise, have had dark frames subtracted, and have been converted from 12-bit to 8-bit grayscale images for compatibility with the MTF Mapper software. Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and Spatial Frequency Response (SFR) diagnostics generated by MTF Mapper are stored in the results directory.

Dataset B: System Response of LOROS and OROCHI

This dataset collects the illuminant spectral power distributions, filter transmission profiles and quantum efficiency data for LOROS and OROCHI, and presents the combined normalised system spectral transmission for each. All data gives wavelengths in units of nanometers.

The data is organised by system:

B_system_response├── LOROS├── OROCHI└── README.md

For LOROS, the illuminant data (lamp_brightness.csv) is the normalised spectral power distribution of the Hayashi-Repic LA-150UE lamp, recorded at Rikkyo University with an Ocean Optics HR4 spectrometer from 195 -- 1129 nm at 0.27 nm  intervals. The transmission data (loros_transmission_data_15012024.csv) for each filter of LOROS was also recorded at Rikkyo University with the Ocean Optics HR4 spectrometer from 195 -- 1129 nm at 0.27 nm  intervals, illuminated with the Hayashi-Repic LA-150UE lamp. Data for the quantum efficiency (sony_imx249_qe_spectral.csv) of the SONY IMX249 CMOS sensor used in all 8 of the DMX 33GX249 cameras of LOROS was extracted from the DMX 33GX249 Technical Reference Manual (The Imaging Source). The complete system response (mmx_loros_system_response.csv) is the combination of these components, normalised to the peak value of each filter.

└── LOROS  ├── lamp_brightness.csv  ├── loros_transmission_data_15012024.csv  ├── sony_imx249_qe_spectral.csv  └── mmx_loros_system_response.csv

For OROCHI, the illuminant data (wehrli85.csv) is the normalised spectral power distribution of the Top-of-Atmosphere Solar Irradiance (Wehrli 85). The transmission data (orochi_transmission_synethsized.csv) for each filter of OROCHI was synethsized using a 15th-order super-Gaussian, with the central wavelengths and full-widths-at-half-maximum expected for OROCHI. Data for the quantum efficiency (kai_08051_qe_spectral.csv) of the KAI-08051 CCD sensor used in all 8 of the cameras of OROCHI was extracted from the KAI-08051 datasheet (OnSemi). The complete system response (mmx_orochi_system_response.csv) is the combination of these components, normalised to the peak value of each filter.

full_well_dn # Saturation Capacity (Digital Numbers)

read_noise_e # Read Noise (electrons)

read_noise_dn # Read Noise (Digital Numbers)

bias_e # Offset (electrons)

bias_dn # Offset (Digital Numbers)

Dataset E: Dark Spectralon Validation
This dataset contains the raw image and derived data used to demonstrate the ability of LOROS to measure the spectral reflectance of the 5% reflectance Spectralon calibration target (SCT5).

The image data is hosted in the directory:


- raw_data


and the processed data (e.g. reflectance products) are hosted in the directory:


- processed_data

Raw Data


The raw data directory contains images captured of SCT5 and SCT99 (99% reflectance white Spectralon), and accompanying dark frames, hosted in the SCT5_dark and SCT99_dark frames respectively.


For each channel, 25 repeat images have been captured for the illuminated and dark frames.


Processed Data


The processed SCT99 and SCT5 datasets differ slightly. Both include:


├── img

├── rfl

└── rois


directories, with the SCT99 scene also including a cal directory.


img hosts a set of context figures, showing the regions of interest selected, fits hosts the floating point mean (ave), standard error (err), standard deviation (std) and single-frame (one), all in units of Digital Number, after dark frame subtraction, flat-fielding and linearity correction. uint8 hosts the same data rescaled to 8-bit resolution, for quick-view.


rfl hosts the same set as img, after conversion to units of reflectance against the results of the SCT99 calibration (see §3.5 of the manuscript).


rois gives plots of the mean and error of the reflectance spectrum of the region of interest, as well as the Signal-to-Noise Ratio, as well as the data for each region-of-interest (roi_data).


cal also gives context figures for each channel region-of-interest, as converted to units of reflectance coefficients (1/DN/s).
