ANIMAR (2011-2013)
Automated annotation of images from the surface of Mars
Activities
The project is organized around four main activities:
- Data base construction - The objective of this task is to produce a database of annotated images of the surface of Mars; this annotation will mention the nature, position and area of occurrence (within the image) of all the structures that constitute targets for automatic detection.
- Feature extraction and classification - This task aims to produce automatic classification methods that are able to determine if a set of structures are present on an image and, that being the case, to delimitate the area that they occupy.
- Large scale evaluation - This task aims to assess the performance of the annotation produced by the developed automatic methods.
- Platform development - This task aims to develop a software platform for the detection of geological structures in images of Mars and for the annotation of those images with the correct labels.
