Mars Handlens Analog Database Archives

For the second stage of our analysis pipeline, outputs were further evaluated using a livability index L (scaled between 0 and 1). Among the 51 Mars-positive samples, the mean livability index was 0.417, with scores clustering at a midrange band of 0.31-0.48 (Table 5). These results suggest that most images were neutrally classified with the model neither stating high nor low livability rates across the tested data. Dust warnings were found to be common, with twenty-four samples flagged as “Warning” , twenty-five as “Caution” , and two as “Severe” (Table 6). -- eartharxiv.org
