Navigating a new digital interface: using automated image recognition to identify pottery in the ArchAIDE project
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like84 views
The Archaide project, coordinated by the University of Pisa, aims to improve the classification and interpretation of archaeological pottery through innovative computer-based tools and automated image recognition. Running from June 2016 to May 2019, it seeks to combine modern technology with traditional archaeological methodologies, facilitating easier adaptation in the field. The project is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program and involves multiple academic partners across Europe.

Editor's Notes
- #10: One of the main goals of ArchAIDE project is to support the work of archaeologists towards an automatic classification (and description) of pottery sherds. This can be reached by taking into account the features that archaeologists compare in order to assign a sherd to a typology. While some of them are hard to be inserted in an automatic system (due to the necessary background and high-level reasoning of archaeologists), there are two descriptors that could be used: shape and appearance. Both of them are used on field, with a different degree of importance w.r.t. different classes of ceramic. Shape and appearance information has been structured in a number of catalogues, which are the main reference during the classification process. From the technical point of view, there are two main aspects that have to be taken into account: • The information that will be extracted from the catalogues (mainly from the reference drawings, but possibly also from the text) has to be extracted also from the images acquired on-site. Hence, it’s necessary to select a proper set of features, and also to provide guidelines for the acquisition of images when excavating. • The classification will be performed by an automatic system that has to be “trained” using real or synthetic data. Hence it is necessary to be able to provide enough input data so that the system is able to learn how to classify in a robust way.
