This new app uses artificial intelligence to identify dinosaurs from their footprints
Paleontologists have developed a deep learning tool called Deep-Ichnology that uses neural networks to identify dinosaur species from photographs of fossilized tracks with remarkable accuracy.
Deep-Ichnology uses advanced algorithms to analyze the subtle geometric patterns in fossilized footprints, distinguishing between different dinosaur groups like theropods and ornithopods. By training on thousands of known samples, the AI can recognize specific contours and depths that are often invisible to the naked human eye.
