 Detecting, mapping, and describing sinkhole-like landform is a challenging process since a set of tedious tasks must be conducted manually, from data collection to manual analysis, mapping using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software and extracting morphometric parameters. Detecting, mapping, and describing sinkhole-like landform is a challenging process since a set of tedious tasks must be conducted manually, from data collection to manual analysis, mapping using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software and extracting morphometric parameters.
  
-For Mars, there exists a downloadable database of more than 1000 cave candidates (Cushing, 2012) and there are several other publications that analyse possible cave entrances on Mars and Moon (Cushing et al., 2007; Hong, Yi and Kim, 2014; Jung et al., 2016; Sauro et al., 2020). Also, for the Moon there is an online database, but it is not downloadable. Both of the databases are region specific or with preferred planetary spots, are created with manual or semi-automated methods and are not updated that regularly. Starting from literature, five classes have been identified:+For Mars, there exists a downloadable database of more than 1000 cave candidates (Cushing, 2012) and there are several other publications that analyse possible cave entrances on Mars and Moon (Cushing et al., 2007; Sauro et al., 2020).

Starting from literature, five classes have been identified:
  
   * Type-1: Skylight with possible cave entrance, flat rim, no ejecta blankets, almost perfect circular shape and no visible bottom.   * Type-1: Skylight with possible cave entrance, flat rim, no ejecta blankets, almost perfect circular shape and no visible bottom.
