A new artificial intelligence (AI)-based lunar mapping technology has accurately mapped over 6,000 new craters on Earth's moon in just hours, the media reported. The moon is dotted with a vast number of craters, some billions of years old. Using the new lunar mapping technique, the technology successfully counted new pockmarks on the moon -- some 6,000 of them -- through available datasets from previous lunar observation information, Tech Times reported. "Basically, we need to manually look at an image, locate and count the craters and then calculate how large they are based on the size of the image," Mohamad Ali-Dib, from the Centre for Planetary Sciences at University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada, was quoted as saying. For the study, published in the journal Icarus, the team first trained the convolutional neural network on a dataset covering two-thirds of the moon.
