infrared mapping [¦in·frə¦red ′map·iŋ]

These ISS images complement existing high-resolution data from Cassini's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) and RADAR instruments.
Some of the features are large enough for Cassini's visible and infrared mapping spectrometer to perform a key test in the next year or two, when the sun climbs higher over Titan, says Cassini research Jonathan Lunine of the University of Arizona in Tucson.
These changes were documented by Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer data collected on Titan flybys from July 2004 to March 2006.
