A Cloud-Based Tool for Meteorite Recovery Using Drones and Machine Learning
For the meteoritics research community, this tool offers a practical method to locate meteorites more efficiently, though improvements are incremental.
The authors present a cloud-based tool combining drones and machine learning to improve recovery of observed meteorite falls, detailing successes and limitations from field tests in Australia.
We present a cloud-based tool that uses drones and machine learning to help recover instrumentally observed meteorite falls. We showcase a collection of improvements made upon previous iterations of our system, as well as detail the successes and limitations of this technique when applied to observed meteorite falls in South and Western Australia. This tool is available to the meteoritics research community upon request at https://find.gfo.rocks.
