Abstract
This paper addresses the automatic detection and age estimation of lunar impact craters using Chang'E data and stratigraphic information. Through transfer learning with deep neural networks, the researchers significantly expanded the existing crater database, identifying 109,956 new craters (more than a dozen times the initial number) and estimating the formation ages of 18,996 craters larger than 8 km. This new lunar crater database, covering mid- and low-latitude regions, is publicly available.
