Introduction to Snowvision and World Engraved
Author(s): Sam McDorman; Karen Smith
Year: 2023
Summary
The Snowvision Project is an interdisciplinary, interagency effort aimed at advancing the study of Southeastern complicated stamped ceramics. Developed at the University of South Carolina, computer vision algorithms match 3D depth patterns on sherds to reconstructed paddle designs and to RGB (photo) images. Project depth and RGB images, along with robust metadata, are shared through the World Engraved website. Although Snowvision has been discussed in computer science and humanities publications, this poster introduces the project to the archaeological community for the first time. Project funding, publications, algorithms, website, student involvement, and research partnerships will be reviewed.
