Deep Learning Digs Deep: Ai Unveils New Large-Scale Images In Peruvian Desert
NVIDIA News, Friday, June 23, 2023
Groundbreaking technology expedites the discovery of mysterious, ancient land art, known as Nazca geoglyphs, etched into Peru's landscape.
Researchers at Yamagata University in Japan have harnessed AI to uncover four previously unseen geoglyphs - images on the ground, some as wide as 1,200 feet, made using the land's elements - in Nazca, a seven-hour drive south of Lima, Peru.
The geoglyphs - a humanoid, a pair of legs, a fish and a bird - were revealed using a deep learning model, making the discovery process significantly faster than traditional archaeological methods.
The team's deep learning model training was executed on an IBM Power Systems server with an NVIDIA GPU.
