Towards Seamless Lunar Mosaics: Deep Radiometric Normalization for Cross-Sensor Orbital Imagery Using Chandrayaan-2 TMC Data

Radiometric inconsistencies remain a major challenge in generating seamless lunar mosaics from multi-mission orbital imagery due to variability in illumination geometry, sensor characteristics, and acquisition conditions. This paper presents a deep learning-based radiometric normalization framework for multi-mission lunar mosaics constructed primarily from ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC) data, supplemented with auxiliary imagery from the SELENE (Kaguya) mission. The proposed approach employs a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) comprising a U-Net-based generator and a PatchGAN discriminator to learn a nonlinear radiometric mapping from conventionally mosaicked lunar imagery to a photometrically consistent reference derived from LROC Wide Angle Camera (WAC) data. A patch-based training strategy with overlap-aware inference is adopted to enable scalable processing of large-area mosaics while preserving structural continuity across tile boundaries. Quantitative evaluation using Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) demonstrates consistent improvements over traditional histogram-based normalization techniques. The proposed framework achieves enhanced tonal uniformity, reduced seam artifacts, and improved structural coherence across multi-source lunar datasets. These results highlight the effectiveness of learning-based radiometric normalization for large-scale planetary mosaicking and demonstrate its potential for generating high-fidelity lunar surface maps from heterogeneous orbital imagery.
