MOONATLAS derived

Large candidateHeld-out testNASA-IBM LFM · WAC crater detection

The NASA-IBM LFM crater detection model predicts a crater candidate about 25.3 km across with confidence 0.95. It is a model detection, not a reference catalog entry.

Why MOONATLAS selected this

Large candidate

Largest confident detections of the analyzed tiles. Product curation over model outputs, not a scientific ranking.

Dataset split

Held out of training and tuning, so this sample is the kind used to evaluate the model. That is evaluation provenance, not physical importance.

A model detection on one analyzed tile, not a catalogued crater and not a unique physical crater: SomBench tiles overlap, so the same crater can be detected on more than one tile.

Values are model output as produced, or MOONATLAS derived metrics computed from it; reference annotations are shown separately and never mixed into predictions. How MOONATLAS works.
