1967 Surveyor III (U.S. Nat. Aeronaut. & Space Admin. SP-146) iii. 16 (caption) Profiles were calculated from photometric measurements of Lunar Orbiter III photograph H154..(photoclinometry by H. E. Holt and S. G. Priebe).

1974 Nature 10 May 132/1 The development of inferred topography on the basis of the brightness distribution in the image of a surface exhibiting diffuse reflection, and a knowledge of the quantitative law of light scattering for the kind of surface under scrutiny, has been called photoclinometry by common agreement over the past few years. (The word ‘photoclinometry’ is due to J. F. McCauley.)

1995 Jrnl. Geophysical Res. 100 23307 Photoclinometry is being utilized to quantify the degree of degradation suffered by Martian impact craters.

1974 Nature 10 May 132/1 An operational photoclinometric theory adapted to light scattering properties peculiar to the Moon was worked out..several years ago.

1995 Icarus 114 405/2 We have obtained photoclinometric profiles across these flat-floored erosional features..to determine if their depths cluster.
