Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for cultural-heritage applications

The utilization of machine learning technology in the preservation and analysis of cultural heritage enables the retrieval of information that would otherwise be lost. Machine learning models, indeed, enable the most precise predictions that can be made. This method can be applied to material culture, such as the lithic industry, pottery, or bone tools of prehistoric societies. It allows us to predict the original artifacts dimensions of artifacts that are incomplete or damaged. Machine learning applied to cultural heritage thus emerges as an innovative and complementary tool for Archaeological sciences.
