NAME: Pottery Sherd Reassembly (2001-2002)

BEGININTRO:

This project addresses how to automatically reconstruct pottery
vessels from a collection of sherds using a variety of features and
their comparisons. To solve the problem, we designed a computational
framework that is founded on the primitive operations of match
proposal and evaluation. A match defines the geometric relationship
between a pair of sherds. This framework affords a natural
decomposition of the computation required by an automatic assembly
process and provides a concrete basis to evaluate the utility of
different features and feature comparisons for assembly. Pairwise
matches are proposed and subsequently evaluated by a series of
independent feature similarity modules. Assembly strategies are
abstracted from the feature-specific sherd details and operate solely
in terms of the probabilistic output of pair-wise proposals and
evaluations.
