The ultimate goal of this competition is to develop algorithms that can accurately identify as many true pottery sherd connections as possible. Success in this endeavor will directly facilitate the virtual reconstruction of original vessel forms, providing crucial insights for archaeological analysis. Submissions will be evaluated based on a combination of metrics designed to assess different aspects of this complex task: 

**Matching Accuracy (70%) **
	This metric will evaluate the correctness of predicted pairwise connections between pottery sherds. Participants will submit pairs of sherd_ids that they believe are connected. The judging panel will verify the results through objective algorithms and manual cross-referencing, ensuring the accuracy and fairness of the evaluation.

**Object Completeness (15%) **
	This metric measures the overall proportion of the pottery vessel that can be restored after assembly (based on comparison with reference shapes). This metric aims to reward solutions that not only find correct individual pairings but also contribute to forming larger, more continuous fragments of the original vessels. This will be evaluated by quantitatively comparing predicted vessel reconstruction data (such as 3D models or key geometric points) with provided reference shapes.

**Solution Report Quality & Innovation (15%) **
	Model Robustness and Speed: The number of pottery sherds that can be processed, runtime, and other relevant factors will be considered to assess the model's effectiveness in practical applications.
	Innovation and Technical Documentation Quality: The innovativeness of the model concept, code standardization, completeness of documentation, etc., will be evaluated.	


使用算法利用陶片的边缘断茬、纹饰、陶质、陶色等标志性特征，将陶片尽可能多地拼合起来，并尽可能复原陶器的原始形状。每支参赛队伍正确拼合陶片的数量越多，器形复原越多，排名越靠前，最多者获胜。

本次竞赛的最终目标是开发能够准确识别尽可能多真实陶片连接的算法。在这方面的成功将直接促进原始器物形态的虚拟重建，为考古分析提供重要的见解。提交作品的评估将基于一系列旨在评估这一复杂任务不同方面的指标组合。

**拼接准确度（70%）**
该指标将评估预测的陶片间成对连接的正确性。参赛者将提交他们认为连接的 sherd_id 对。评委会会通过抽样进行人工核对。

**器形完整度（15%）**
拼合后可还原的陶器整体比例（基于参考器形对比）。该指标旨在奖励那些不仅找到正确的单个配对，而且有助于形成更大、更连续的原始器物片段的解决方案。

**解决方案报告质量与创新性 （15%）**
模型鲁棒性与速度
可处理的陶片数量、运行时间等。
创新性与技术文档质量
模型构思创新度、代码规范性、说明文档完整性。
