A guided, single-image ceramic analysis workspace for archaeological documentation. The tool now begins with image preparation and object-boundary confirmation, then moves into contour editing, rim planning, surface annotation, pXRF preparation, JSON archiving, and server-side PDF reporting.
Upload a ceramic image, review the detected object boundary in a wireframe preview, approve or correct that boundary, then move into detailed analytical marking. The workflow is explicit so measurements and reports are grounded in a confirmed object boundary rather than an unchecked automatic guess.
This tool documents visible and measurable features only. It does not identify type, period, culture, production source, or provenance. All results are kept in observed, measured, estimated, and user-annotated categories.
Upload one ceramic photograph and record the contextual information needed for a defensible visual analysis. Immediately after upload, the tool creates a wireframe review.
This is now the required review stage. Confirm that the detected outline follows only the ceramic object, not the photo background or page frame.
For whole vessels, the tool attempts vessel-specific guides: rim ellipse, base ellipse or arc, left and right sidewalls, centerline, and default pXRF zones. Manual rim points remain available for analyst review.
After the boundary is approved, use this workspace for manual refinement, rim-point marking, scale calibration, surface annotation, color sampling, and pXRF target planning.
All computed outputs are recalculated from the current edited layers. The report will record whether the boundary was automatic, approved, or manually edited.
These parameters are exported in JSON. They are retained for experimental refinement and should be changed cautiously.
In Review / Drag mode, click a gold handle to select it, then drag it or nudge it with the controls above. Arrow keys also work when no form field is focused.
Projected 2D geometry, rim-fit estimates, contour complexity, and measurement confidence values based on the currently approved and edited visual layer.
Document visible surface traits, color samples, and pattern zones without assigning type, period, culture, or provenance.
Prepare sample points and metadata for a future ceramic pXRF analysis tool.
Archive the analysis package and generate a bordered Stella Nova PDF report on the server. The report records object-boundary approval status and wireframe review context.
Use this panel when the workflow stalls or when a live deployment behaves differently than the local package. It captures client-side runtime state, server-side file and path checks, endpoint readiness, and recent error/event traces.
Diagnostics snapshot will appear here after the first run.
The ceramic visual analysis methodological note is displayed inline for review and annotation.
CVA measurements are image-plane estimates. Oblique perspective, handles, spouts, shadows, and missing rims/bases reduce confidence and are recorded as methodological cautions.
