Improved automatic impact crater detection on Mars based on morphological image processing and template matching

Impact craters help scientists to understand the geological history of planetary bodies. The aim of this paper is to improve the existing methodology for impact craters detection in images of planetary surfaces using a new approach based on morphological image processing (MIP). The improved methodol...
