A first preliminary attempt at 'fingerprint-scanning' for hidden craters in the dunefields, craters (both visible and 'filled in') are marked red. Ranger and Surveyor crater are correctly found, as are some others. Smaller craters are not marked as they were outside the limits set for this search (I can define a minimum and maximum diameter to search for). Still some craters are missed which should have been found and there are a lot of seeminly 'false positives', but this remains 'work in progress'...
I'm mostly trying to find signs of 'dusttraps', craters which are filled in by sanddunes and mostly hidden from view, but it remains a nasty puzzle to get the software to find the exact signs for that ;-). Still, the dune-fields are a nice testbed, in flat area's the software now correctly finds almost all craters but inside these dunefields it's a lot harder... Regards, Geert |
