AI helps discover new geoglyph in the Nazca Lines

人工智能协助科学家在纳斯卡线条中发现新的人形地画

Scientists from Japan have used machine learning for the first time to identify a new figure among the ancient motifs of Peru's Nazca Lines.

日本的科学家初次运用机器学习在秘鲁的纳斯卡线条的古代图画中发现了一幅新的人形地画。

The illustration, known as a geoglyph, is thought to date to between 100 BC and 500 AD, and was made by removing the dark stones of the Nazca Desert to reveal the white sand beneath. It's small, just five meters in height, and it shows a humanoid figure grasping a cane or club. Like the other drawings in the Nazca Desert, its exact function is unknown, but its discovery next to an ancient path suggests it might have been used as a waypoint.

据称,这一人形地画能够追溯到公元前100年至公元500年间。由于纳斯卡沙漠的深色石头被移开,露出了下面的白色沙子,才有了这一人形地画。该画很小,只要五米高,上面是一个抓着拐杖或棍棒的人形形象。与纳斯卡沙漠中的其它地画一样,现在尚不清楚该人形地画所起的切当效果。但科学家是在一条陈旧的小径旁发现的这一人形地画,这在某种程度上预示着它可能是一个路标。

"It's a large achievement."

“这是一项重大进展。”

"It is in an area that we often investigated, but we did not know the geoglyph existed," Professor Makato Sakai, the leader of a team from Yamagata University that conducted the research, told The Verge over email. "It's a large achievement."

日本山形大学的一个教授团队展开了这项研讨,研讨团队的担任人马凯特·酒井(Makato Sakai)教授在写给The Verge期刊的邮件中写道:“咱们经常在该区域进行调查,但此前却并不知道它的存在。”

The geoglyph was discovered during a larger research project by Yamagata University. Over a decade, using a combination of on-site surveying and aerial imagery, archeologists from the university manually identified 142 new designs in the desert. Then, working with researchers from IBM Japan, they used machine learning to scan the data for designs missed in earlier studies. This revealed geoglyph number 143, our fellow with the cane. It's the first design to be discovered with the help of artificial intelligence.

在山形大学展开的另一个较大的研讨项目中,该人形地画得以发现。十多年来,该大学的考古学家结合现场勘察和航拍图画,在沙漠中识别了142种新规划。然后,他们与日本IBM公司的研讨人员协作,运用机器学习扫描数据,以查找前期研讨中遗失的规划。因而就有了第143幅纳斯卡线条人形地画(也便是拄着拐杖的人形),这是研讨人员在人工智能的协助下发现的第一个规划。

The Nazca Lines occupy an area of roughly 19 square miles, and they are thought to have been made over many centuries starting around 100 BC by the Nazca people of modern-day Peru. They were first studied in detail in the 1940s, and by the time they were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, around 30 were identified. They're remarkably well-preserved considering their age, helped by the desert's dry climate and winds that sweep away the sand.

纳斯卡线条占地约19平方英里,据以为,它们是由生于现代秘鲁的纳斯卡人在公元前100年左右开端制造的。在20世纪40年代,研讨员初次对它们进行了具体的研讨。1994年被指定为联合国教科文组织世界遗产时,已确认了约30幅人形地画。虽年份长远,但这些线条保存杰出,这首要得益于沙漠的干旱气候和吹走沙尘的风。
