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 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. Expected Reflectance of Carbonaceous Chondrite & Dark SpectralonC. Radiometric CalibrationD. 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.

Derived Properties

 

The spreadsheet ([experiment]_derived_properties.csv) collecting the properties derived from each experiment holds the following information, that has been extracted from the Photon Transfer and Dark Transfer curves as described in §4.2 of the manuscript:


camera # The camera number and wavelength

k_adc # Sensitivity (e-/DN)

full_well_e # Saturation Capacity (electrons)

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)

dark_current_e # Dark Current (electrons/second)

dark_current_dn # Dark Current (Digital Numbers/second)

DR # Dynamic Range

lin_min # Minimum Linearity Error

lin_max # Maximum Linearity Error

linearity # Average Linearity Error

snr_max # Maximum Signal-to-Noise Ratio

t_exp_min # Minimum Exposure used in experiment (seconds)

t_exp_max # Maximum Exposure used in experiment (seconds)

expected_response # Expected Response (or 'Digital Flux') for OROCHI^12 at Phobos (Digital Numbers/second)

These values are given for each channel of LOROS, as well as the expected values for LOROS in off-the-shelf configuration (with no gain adjustment), LOROS with the gain adjustment, and OROCHI if downsampled to 12-bit resolution digital numbers.


This data constitutes Table 2 of the manuscript.


Dark Transfer Curve


The dark_transfer_curve directory hosts the derived Dark Transfer Curve data (derived_data) and the source region-of-interest dark image pair data (raw_data) for each LOROS channel.

└── camera_config.csv


The raw_data directory hosts a dark image pair for each exposure time used, and the camera_config.csv spreadsheet gives metadata for the system configuration, including the coordinates and dimensions of the region-of-interest for each channel.


The dark transfer curve for each experiment and each channel ([experiment]_[channel]_[wavelength]_dtc) gives the data derived from each raw image data, with the following values:


exposure # exposure duration (seconds)

n_pix # number of pixels in the region of interest

mean # average value of the region of interest

std_t # total standard deviation of the region of interest

std_rs # read+shot-noise standard deviation, copmuted from the difference of the image pair

Dataset D: 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).
