Researchers have developed a novel multimodal AI framework for classifying avian bones, integrating visual data with osteometric measurements. This system uses a two-stage pipeline with BiRefNet and SAM2 for image segmentation, then fuses visual features from EfficientNet_V2_S with morphometric data. The model achieved 86% accuracy in identifying bone types and showed promise in family-level taxonomic classification with 75% top-3 accuracy, establishing a new methodological baseline for AI-assisted zooarchaeology.
