Using microscopic imaging and ensemble deep learning to classify the provenance of archaeological ceramics by Qian Wang, Xuan Xiao, Zi Liu

“…Abstract Considering the substantial inaccuracies inherent in the traditional manual identification of ceramic categories and the issues associated with analyzing ceramics based on chemical or spectral features, which may lead to the destruction of ceramics, this paper introduces a novel provenance classification of archaeological ceramics which relies on microscopic features and an ensemble deep learning model, overcoming the time consuming and require costly equipment limitations of current standard methods, and without compromising the structural integrity and artistic value of ceramics. …”
