"Computed Tomography (CT) scanning provides paleontologists with a way to look inside bone and study fragile fossil material without physically removing the surrounding rock," Dr. Knutsen said.
"With ever-improving equipment, the size of datasets and image resolution have significantly increased, which means a significant amount of time invested in manually segmenting data," Dr. Knutsen said.
"With datasets often exceeding 2,000 images per sample, this process can take months to complete," Dr. Knutsen stated, reflecting the efficiency increase from their AI implementation.
The study, "Accelerating segmentation of fossil CT scans through Deep Learning," showcases how AI technology is transforming paleontological practices by drastically reducing analysis time from months to days.
