AI framework reconstructs collapsed structures using physics and deep learning

Researchers have developed a GPU-accelerated deep learning framework called Jenga Inverse Predictor (JIP-2) to aid in the reassembly of collapsed architectural monuments. This system treats structural anastylosis as an inverse prediction task, using a physics engine and a dual-stream ResNet-18 to reconstruct the most probable prior tower configuration from an image of a collapsed structure. The framework incorporates detailed physics simulations, including collision detection and contact solving, and analyzes force thresholds across various friction levels to predict block removal probabilities and structural stability. The findings have implications for computer-assisted anastylosis efforts at historical sites like Uxmal. AI

IMPACT This framework could significantly speed up and improve the accuracy of historical site reconstruction and conservation efforts.
