Pluto’s Surface Mapping Using Unsupervised Learning from Near-infrared Observations of LEISA/Ralph

We map the surface of Pluto using an unsupervised machine-learning technique using the near-infrared observations of the LEISA/Ralph instrument on board NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft. The principal-component-reduced Gaussian mixture model was implemented to investigate the geographic distribution o...
