There have been several investigation about water-ice depositions on the lunar polar regions. Earlier, studies were based on criterion circular polarization ratio (CPR). However, It is quite challenging to classify waterice deposits on the basis of criterion CPR>1, because it occurs in water-ice and rough surface region both. Thus, it is essential to examine the CPR>1, laterally with other significant parameters fractal dimension and conformity coefficient (mu) for better classification. First fractal dimension (D) based method has been used to differentiate between the rough and smooth surface. Further, conformity coefficient (mu) is used to identify possible water-ice region associated with volume scattering. This dominant volume scattering pixels points were extracted from the degree of polarization (DOP) for better classification. Finally, obtained results have been compared with existing methods. The entire study indicates that the classification of water-ice deposits using conformity coefficient (mu) gives good results.
