This research describes development of recognition algorithm for topographic features such as impact craters, wrinkle ridges, and grabens on Digital Terrain Models of SELENE (SELenological and Engineering Explorer). Because SELENE provides massive volumes of lunar data, its data sets require semi-automatic laborsaving analysis. We try to recognize circular and linear topographic features with General Hough Transform. Although the transform is one of the most popular techniques, this should be optimized for our targeted features. Experimental results of this algorithm show that typical craters and topographic lineaments can be extracted.
