    This shape model of Dione is based on 1511 Cassini Imaging Science        
    Subsystem narrow and wide angle camera (ISSNA and ISSWA) images. The shape
    model was prepared by Robert Gaskell on July 23, 2012.                    
                                                                              
    Coordinate system:

    BODY604_POLE_DEC  = (   +83.52    -0.004      0.  )                       
    BODY604_PM        = (   357.00  +131.5349316  0.  )                       
                                                                              
    (For help in interpreting the values of the SPICE assignments above, see  
    the document 'PCK Required Reading' (PCK.REQ), available at NAIF and in   
    the document directory of this data set.)                                 
                                                                              
    The parameters of the model are as follows:                               
                                                                              
    Number of landmarks: 11932                                                
    RMS position uncertainty:  1133 m/dof (degree of freedom)                 
    Pointing uncertainty:  1.6 mrad                                           
    Pointing residual:  1.992 mrad                                            
    Number of observations:  678714                                           
    Observations per landmark:  56.9                                          
    RMS landmark Location residual:  202 m/dof                                
                                                                              
    The models were originally prepared in the Implicitly Connected           
    Quadrilateral (ICQ) format.  Vertex-facet format versions, derived from   
    the ICQ versions, are also provided.  The filenames are dione_quad512q.tab
    and dione_ver512q.tab, where 512 is the value of Q (an indicator of the   
    resolution).  See below for the full definition of Q and the ICQ format.  
    For additional information about the shape models, see Gaskell et al.     
    (2008).                                                                   
                                                                              
    The file 'dioneimagelist.tab' is a list of the Cassini ISSNA and ISSWA    
    images used to generate this model.  These images are archived in PDS     
    under the data set ID CO-S-ISSNA/ISSWA-2-EDR-V1.0.                        
                                                                              
    A text file, 'icqmodel.asc' is provided in the 'document' directory which 
    describes the ICQ format and the derivation of the vertex-facet versions.

Known issues or problems with the data
======================================

    Note that the vertex-facet versions of the model have some duplicate      
    vertices on the edges and corners of the cube.  The duplicate vertices are
    not used in the facet table, resulting in the presence of some vertices in
    the vertex table which do not appear in the facet table.  This does not   
    affect the correctness of the vertex-facet version.

Version 1.0 of this bundle was migrated from version 1.0 of the PDS3 data set CO-SA-ISSNA/ISSWA-5-DIONESHAPE-V1.0.
