Automatic Analysis of Mineral’s Abundance

Abstract:

The mineral is the important data in the Lunar Exploration. The main objective of this work is to segmentation lunar craters with the C-V Model, and to quantify the images terrain and the abundance of lunar surface minerals based on Crater distribution law and Soil Characterization Consortium data set with Hapke model and lunar surface reflectance. Actual lunar images of mare region as an example, this method analysis result of the minerals abundance are basically same with published literature. This method can be simple rapid in-time implemented in real-time lunar exploration.
