Posted by Highfield Residents' Association on Feb 2, 2024 in News | 0 comments“Three students from the University of Southampton are using AI technology to document repair work to the Battle of Trafalgar warship HMS Victory.
The university collaborated with the National Museum of the Royal Navy to explore how AI can support the museum in preserving the nation’s maritime heritage. The project has seen three Master’s degree students work alongside archaeologists at the museum to apply AI technologies to projects – including Nelson’s flagship.
Since the restoration of HMS Victory began in May 2022, archaeologists have taken more than 3,000 images. These additional images had to be stored and analysed manually, but aided by AI, this process is now automated. “
