About Ancient Games Recognition

What is this project?

Imagine encountering an ancient game board carved into stone at an archaeological site, or discovering an unfamiliar board game at a museum. Our goal is to develop an AI-powered application that can instantly analyze a photograph and suggest matching games from the Ludii game database.

How It Works

This website serves as the foundation for training our AI model. Here's the process:

  1. Data Collection: Community members and researchers contribute photographs of game boards from diverse cultural and historical contexts.
  2. Expert Annotation: Each submitted image is reviewed and labeled by experts, creating a high-quality training dataset.
  3. AI Training: The labeled images train machine learning models to recognize patterns and distinguish characteristics of different game boards.
  4. Application Development: The trained model will power a user-friendly application for automatic game identification.
