Insights into Lunar Mineralogy: An Unsupervised Approach for Clustering of the Moon Mineral Mapper (M3) spectral data
- 先用卷积变分自编码器降维提取光谱特征
- 再用k-means聚类出五类主导光谱特征
- 结果与嫦娥一号数据吻合，适合月球矿物研究者
本文提出一种基于机器学习的月球光谱数据聚类方法，利用月球矿物测绘仪（M3）的高光谱数据，通过卷积变分自编码器降低数据维度并提取光谱特征，随后采用k-means算法将潜在变量聚为五个独立类别，分别对应月表主要光谱特征，与矿物成分相关。生成的全球光谱聚类图展示了这五类集群在月球表面的分布，包含斜长石、辉石、橄榄石及铁质矿物等混合区域。该聚类结果与嫦娥一号任务的矿物图对比显示，聚类位置与斜长石、低钙辉石和橄榄石高重量百分比区域高度重合。研究表明，无偏见的无监督学习对月球矿物探索具有实用价值，并提供了全面的月球矿物学分析。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper presents a novel method for mapping spectral features of the Moon using machine learning-based clustering of hyperspectral data from the Moon Mineral Mapper (M3) imaging spectrometer. The method uses a convolutional variational autoencoder to reduce the dimensionality of the spectral data and extract features of the spectra. Then, a k-means algorithm is applied to cluster the latent variables into five distinct groups, corresponding to dominant spectral features, which are related to the mineral composition of the Moon's surface. The resulting global spectral cluster map shows the distribution of the five clusters on the Moon, which consist of a mixture of, among others, plagioclase, pyroxene, olivine, and Fe-bearing minerals across the Moon's surface. The clusters are compared to the mineral maps from the Kaguya mission, which showed that the locations of the clusters overlap with the locations of high wt% of minerals such as plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and olivine. The paper demonstrates the usefulness of unbiased unsupervised learning for lunar mineral exploration and provides a comprehensive analysis of lunar mineralogy.
