 After a meteorite hits a planetary body at hyper-velocity speeds, the surface material is melted into molten rock under the immense energies of an impact event. As the crater forms underneath, this pool of molten rock - often called an impact melt deposit - contracts as it cools over time. This contraction causes linear fractures to pop open on the surface of the impact melt deposit. 
 
-Previously, these impact melt fractures (IMFs) have been manually mapped by researchers on the Moon and Mercury (Xiao et al. 2014), in order to investigate which cooling mechanisms may be most influential on airless bodies such as these. In this work, we use a Deep Learning model to automate this processes. Our model, called IMFMapper, has developed upon previous manual mapping (Thaker et al. 2020) of Crookes crater on the Moon and finds new impact melt deposits within its western and southern walls. We have also used IMFMapper to catalogue the IMFs found within the Moon's Schomberger A crater, which could potentially be trapping reserves of water ice within them due to being deprived of sunlight at such high latitudes (see https://zenodo.org/records/15101175).

-IMFMapper was trained on over 7,000 LROC NAC image tiles (~2,600 of which contained no IMFs at all) nd validated against a further ~1,800. In testing upon IMFs within Copernicus and Virtanen F craters, IMFMapper achieved an average precision (P) and recall (R) of 56.9 and 56.1%, respectively.
+IMFMapper was trained on over 7,000 LROC NAC image tiles, around 2,600 of which contained no IMFs at all. Throughout the training process, these training tiles underwent data augmentation in the form of Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalisation (CLAHE), addition of Gaussian noise, and perspective shift - each with a 50% probability of occuring for a single tile. **Figure 3** shows these processes being applied to an example training tile.

+In order to select the best combination of model parameters and backone, IMFMapper was applied to two separate validation datasets: the first drawn from the same craters seen during training, and the second containing a selection of the IMFs found within Copernicus and Virtanen F. In independent testing against the IMFs within the southern half of Ohm crater's floor, IMFMapper achieved an average F1 score of 69.3% (corresponding to a precision and recall of 67.7 and 71.0%, respectively).
