MOONATLAS derived

Large candidateTraining sampleNASA-IBM LFM · WAC crater detection

The NASA-IBM LFM crater detection model predicts a crater candidate about 38.1 km across with confidence 0.97. It is a model detection, not a reference catalog entry. This is a training sample: the model saw this area during training, so the prediction is not independent evidence of model performance.

Why MOONATLAS selected this

Large candidate

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

Dataset split

The model saw this area during training, so this prediction is not independent evidence of performance. The observation and the model output are equally real.

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.
