In this work, we present RecoStones, a software tool developed within the SILPI project (acronym of “Sistema per l’Identificazione di Lapidei Per Immagini”) and financed by POR Calabria FESR-FSE 2014–2020. RecoStones is a smartphone app able to classify stone materials and to determine their provenance through image recognition techniques. The app was developed using a set of stone materials sampled from different Calabrian quarries with a particular historical and artistic value, and it was directly tested in situ on different local known materials belonging to monuments and buildings of the Calabrian Cultural Heritage. The testing phase confirmed that RecoStones is a useful, smart, and cheap tool which can help geologists and non-geologists, such as restorers, architects, art historians, engineers, and all the staff involved in restoration and conservation projects, to determine the typology of a stone material and its provenance. This work aims also to create the first database of the Calabrian quarries that may be expanded in the future with further Calabrian outcrops or further quarries located in other national or international contexts. Consequently, the app may be upgraded in order to recognize other stone materials, becoming a new tool of global interest.

在这项工作中，我们介绍RecoStones，这是SILPI项目中开发的软件工具（“ Istimificazione di Lapidei Per Immagini”的缩写），由POR Calabria FESR-FSE 2014-2020资助。RecoStones是一款智能手机应用程序，能够对石材进行分类并通过图像识别技术确定其出处。该应用程序是使用从不同卡拉布里亚采石场采样的一组石头材料开发的，具有特殊的历史和艺术价值，并且已在属于卡拉布里亚文化遗产的古迹和建筑物的不同当地已知材料上进行了现场直接测试。测试阶段确认了RecoStones是一种有用，智能且便宜的工具，可以帮助地质学家和非地质学家，例如修复者，建筑师，艺术史学家，工程师以及所有参与修复和保护项目的人员，确定石材的类型及其组成。出处。这项工作还旨在创建第一个关于卡拉布里亚采石场的数据库，该数据库将来可能会随着其他卡拉布里亚露头或其他国家或国际环境下的采石场的扩展而扩展。因此，该应用程序可能会升级以识别其他石材，从而成为全球关注的新工具。
