    Mineral classification on Martian surface using CRISM hyperspectral data: a survey
    (SPIE, 2023) Kumari, P.; Soor, S.; Shetty, A.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    The compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) has significantly advanced our understanding of the mineralogy of Mars. With its enhanced spectral and spatial resolution, CRISM has enabled the identification and characterization of various minerals on the Martian surface, providing valuable insights into Mars’ past climate and geologic history, as well as the evolution of the planet’s atmosphere and climate. We present a comprehensive review of mineral identification on Mars using CRISM data. We discuss the data description, pre-processing techniques, different spectrum libraries, geological characteristics used for mineral identification, challenges, and methodologies used for mineral classification, such as learning models, probabilistic methods, and neural networks. We highlight major findings of minerals on the Martian surface and discuss validation techniques. We conclude with a discussion of further research to address the existing gaps and challenges in this field. Overall, we provide a general understanding of mineral classification using CRISM data and could serve as a helpful resource for researchers and scientists interested in planetary remote sensing and mineral identification on the Martian surface. © 2023 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)

    MICAnet: A Deep Convolutional Neural Network for mineral identification on Martian surface
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Kumari, P.; Soor, S.; Shetty, A.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    Mineral identification plays a vital role in understanding the diversity and past habitability of the Martian surface. Mineral mapping by the traditional manual method is time-consuming and the unavailability of ground truth data limited the research on building supervised learning models. To address this issue an augmentation process is already proposed in the literature that generates training data replicating the spectra in the MICA (Minerals Identified in CRISM Analysis) spectral library while preserving absorption signatures and introducing variability. This study introduces MICAnet, a specialized Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) architecture for mineral identification using the CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars) hyperspectral data. MICAnet is inspired by the Inception-v3 and InceptionResNet-v1 architectures, but it is tailored with 1-dimensional convolutions for processing the spectra at the pixel level of a hyperspectral image. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first DCNN architecture solely dedicated to mineral identification on the Martian surface. The model is evaluated by its matching with a TRDR (Targeted Reduced Data Record) dataset obtained using a hierarchical Bayesian model. The results demonstrate an impressive f-score of at least .77 among different mineral groups in the MICA library, which is on par with or better than the unsupervised models previously applied to this objective. © 2024
