>The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully
>demonstrated production of digital elevation models and stereo movies
>(3 dimensional movies) of the Moon surface by using stereoscopic
>images obtained with the Terrain Camera (TC) onboard KAGUYA on Nov. 3,
>2007 (Japan Standard Time, JST). This verification was performed as
>part of the initial check out of mission instruments onboard "KAGUYA"
>(SELENE), which was injected into the Moon's orbit at an altitude of
>about 100 km. These are the first 3-D movies of the Moon including its
>polar areas with an aerial resolution of 10 meters.
>Anaglyph images*1 and movies were also produced from the digital
>elevation models.
>
>*1: Anaglyph images are 3-D images viewed with red and blue 3-D glasses
