AI Helps Search for Potential Moon Sites for Energy and Mineral Resources
A new technique of moon scanning could help automatically categorize the essential lunar features from telescopic images and can also remarkably enhance the efficiency of choosing sites for exploration. There is much more to choosing a landing or exploration site on the Moon than what is just observed. The lunar surface's visible area is bigger compared to Russia and is pockmarked by thousands of craters and crisscrossed by canyon-like rilles. However, scanning the larger area by eyes, searching for features that measure a few hundred meters across is strenuous and not typically perfect. This makes it hard to select an ideal area for exploration.
