Utilizing artificial intelligence to uncover the Kingdom’s ancient stone structures

KAUST ·

KAUST researchers are using AI to analyze satellite imagery for the automated detection of ancient stone structures in northwest Saudi Arabia, including mustatils (rectangular structures dating to the late 6th millennium BCE) and ruins in circular and triangular shapes. They developed a deep learning algorithm trained on manually identified datasets to isolate similar features over a wide area. The tool converts detected pixels into geodetic coordinates using GPS, assembling them into an online map and database. Why it matters: This project exemplifies computational archaeology, speeding up archaeological discoveries, promoting cultural heritage, and providing a methodology useful to other sectors of the economy.

Hybrid Deep Feature Extraction and ML for Construction and Demolition Debris Classification

arXiv ·

This paper introduces a hybrid deep learning and machine learning pipeline for classifying construction and demolition waste. A dataset of 1,800 images from UAE construction sites was created, and deep features were extracted using a pre-trained Xception network. The combination of Xception features with machine learning classifiers achieved up to 99.5% accuracy, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance for debris identification.
