Help NASA Classify Martian Craters
The large Martian crater above just left of center:
is this a fresh crater, a degraded crater, or a ghost crater?
Complex image recognition tasks like these are currently
done more reliably by a human than a computer.
Additionally, there are so many
craters on
Mars that
NASA just doesn't
have enough people to classify them all!
Therefore, you can help humanity's
understanding of the surface of
Mars by volunteering to classify
craters.
All you need for
this pilot study
is a proper web browser and a mouse.
If asked to
classify the above crater, you might best respond that it appears relatively fresh, as it exhibits a sharp rim and a well-preserved interior.
Degraded craters are typically older and
have their rims more rounded, while
"ghost craters" are the oldest of all and only faintly discernable.
