Lunar polar explorations and developments have been remarked by space agencies and industries such as Artemis Program. Geographic information system (GIS) has been also popular in visualization and data analysis for mission planning. Although NASA Moon Trek [1] and LROC QuickMap [2] have been known as lunar GIS, we need to develop own GIS for installing our data products.
The purpose of this study is to develop a GIS for analyzing and displaying the data products generated by the two poster presentations in this session, "DEMs with super-resolution and photo-geological maps by machine learning to install on Web-GIS" by Ogino and "Automatic geological Mapping by Semantic Segmentation of KAGUYA Multiband Images Using Deeplabv3+" by Goto. We use deck.gl [3] which is a geo-visualization framework because this framework displays 2D and 3D data. We also develop GIS by deck.gl without paid platforms such as the ArcGIS API and Mapbox API.
We use datasets provided by the NASA Moon Trek API. "LRO LROC WAC Image Mosaic, N Pole" is used for the North Pole dataset. "LRO LROC WAC Image Mosaic, S Pole " is used as the South Pole dataset. "LRO LROC WAC Image Mosaic" is used as the global base map dataset.
As a result, a polar stereo projection of the Moon and a global view of the Moon are available on our GIS. This base map can be zoomed in and out by mouse operation seamlessly. We have designed web-GIS with a database. This is the first step for adding new analysis functions in the future.
