Importance of Cratering Processes
The importance of impact processes on a planetary scale has been recognized only fairly recently, after it became evident that not only our Moon (FIG. 1), but all other bodies in the solar system with a solid surface are covered with meteorite impact craters (FIG. 2). Impact cratering is a highenergy event that occurs at more or less irregular intervals (although over long periods of time, an a...
متن کاملCorrelation of Radial Profiles Extracted from Automatic Detected Circular Features, in the Search for Impact Structure Candidates
Impact cratering is a common geological process in the Solar System and most planetary bodies display geomorphologies strongly influenced by impacts (Lowman 1997). Fresh impact craters are normally characterized by a circular morphology (Melosh 1989). This surface expression is modified on Earth by active geological processes. The variation of terrestrial impact structure expressions suggests a...

متن کاملAutomatic Recognition of Craters on the Surface of Mars Based on Boosting Techniques
The identification of impact craters on a planetary surface has crucial importance for planetary studies because it allows the estimation of the surface age through measures of size and frequency of impacts. Several methods for automatic crater identification have been developed, however none is sufficiently robust to be applied on all planetary surfaces. This dissertation proposes a new approa...
متن کاملMapping Terrestrial Impact Craters with the Tandem-x Digital Elevation Model
We use the global digital elevation model (DEM) generated in the TanDEM-X mission for mapping the confirmed terrestrial impact structures in the Earth Impact Database of the Planetary and Space Science Center (PASSC) at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The TanDEMX mission generates a global DEM with unprecedented properties. The achieved global coverage together with the improved accura...
