Many archaeological artifacts today are only preserved in fragments. Reassembling these parts into their original form is therefore an important but challenging task for archaeology. Computer-assisted methods can facilitate this task or even partially solve it in some cases. However, due to the usually poor preservation of these artifacts and their potential incompleteness, reliable fully automatic reassembly is rarely possible in practice.
The goal of the Open Reassembly project, which is new on Österreich forscht, is to design the solution to such complex tasks as a collaborative process involving many participants and in optimal interplay with computer-assisted methods. Have a look and join the project!
