An Overview of Crater Analyses, Tests and ...

This paper focuses on review articles of crater detections, analyses, tests and pattern recognition methods. Various methods of detection and analyses are compared according to their implementations, procedures and results. Nowadays, there are vast methods of crater detection algorithms and the most accepted one are by using Hough Transform analysis and edge detection algorithm. Nevertheless, some of them are implementing the detection based on illumination view that is the distinguishable between sunny and shady blob that formed a crater. Some of the methods are new and promising using stochastic image modeling. For crater detection algorithm, the edge based and edge free methods are compared according to their performances. The advantages and drawbacks of these techniques are summarized here.
