• Title: Lunar Crater Identification in Digital Images
• Authors: John A. Christian, Harm Derksen, and Ryan Watkins
• Abstract summary: It is often necessary to identify a pattern of observed craters in a single image of the lunar surface. This so-called "lost-in-space" crater identification problem is common in both crater-based terrain relative navigation (TRN) and in automatic registration of scientific imagery. This work provides the first mathematically rigorous treatment of the general crater identification problem.

• Abstract: It is often necessary to identify a pattern of observed craters in a single image of the lunar surface and without any prior knowledge of the camera's location. This so-called "lost-in-space" crater identification problem is common in both crater-based terrain relative navigation (TRN) and in automatic registration of scientific imagery. Past work on crater identification has largely been based on heuristic schemes, with poor performance outside of a narrowly defined operating regime (e.g., nadir pointing images, small search areas). This work provides the first mathematically rigorous treatment of the general crater identification problem. It is shown when it is (and when it is not) possible to recognize a pattern of elliptical crater rims in an image formed by perspective projection. For the cases when it is possible to recognize a pattern, descriptors are developed using invariant theory that provably capture all of the viewpoint invariant information. These descriptors may be pre-computed for known crater patterns and placed in a searchable index for fast recognition. New techniques are also developed for computing pose from crater rim observations and for evaluating crater rim correspondences. These techniques are demonstrated on both synthetic and real images.

  Craters are amongst the most important morphological features in planetary exploration. Machine learning (ML) and computer vision have been successfully applied for both detecting craters and estimating their size. We present a universal crater detection scheme that is based on the recently proposed Segment Anything Model (SAM) from META AI.

  Most existing detection methods treat the problem as a vanilla binary classification problem. In this paper, the problem is treated as a special fine-grained classification problem since the differences between fake and real faces are very subtle. A spatial-temporal model is proposed which has two components for capturing spatial and temporal forgery traces in global perspective.
