The presence of patterned grounds on Mars has been reported in several papers, especially the study of polygons distribution, size and formation processes. In the last years, the presence of basketball terrains has been noticed on Mars. Studies were made to recognize these terrains on Mars through the analysis of Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images. We have been developing an algorithm that recognizes automatically and extracts the hummocky patterns on Mars related to landforms generated by freeze–thaw cycles such as mud boils features. The algorithm is based on remote sensing data that establishes a comparison between the hummocks and mud boils morphology and size from Adventdalen at Longyearbyen (Svalbard—Norway) and hummocky patterns on Mars using High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) imagery.
► Terrestrial geoforms mapping to start investigating the Martian periglacial features.
► Software package to analyze automatically the information produced by HiRISE imagery.
► Detailed automatic characterization of Martian hummocky terrains.
