ABSTRACT Impact crater identification and localization are vital to age estimation studies of all planetary surfaces. This study illustrates the utility of object detection based approach for impact crater identification. We demonstrate this using the You Only Look Once (YOLO) object detection technique to localize and identify impact craters on the imagery from Context Camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The model was trained on a chipped and augmented dataset of 1450 images for 13000 iterati…
