- Its homepage reports 14 of 46 break–reference pairs close to restored, while showing the attempts rather than only selecting the best result.
Field notes
The workflow combines hand-tagged sculpture photographs with software suggestions that are corrected by an expert. The project says those corrections help one expert work through tens of thousands of photos. For its reconstruction tests, it evaluates whether the object is right, sits in the right hand, joins the stump, and reads as carved stone; the homepage also retains attempts it considers imperfect.
