Deep Learning driven interpretation of Chang'E4 Lunar Penetrating Radar [PDF]
, 2023 We reprocessed and interpreted Chang’E-4 Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) data collected until 14th February 2023, exploiting a new Deep Learning-based algorithm to automatically extract reflectors from a processed radar dataset. The results are in terms of horizon probability and have been interpreted by integrating signal attribute analysis with orbital
