Steps to reproduce
Using digital photogrammetry software, create a 3D reconstruction of the Apollo 14 landing site. Photographs taken on the lunar surface by the crew are to be analyzed. Rocks and hardware elements may be used as benchmarks, reseau grid and blurring will help to determine linear sizes and focusing distances of individual scans. The local horizontal frame may be introduced by comparing the positions of the Earth, Sun and Venus in photographs with their actual coordinates in the lunar sky during the EVAs. The position of the Sun may be found from analyzing shadows.
