Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Fossils are extremely important materials in evolutionary biology and earth science. However, it is necessary to have specialized knowledge, experience, time, and effort in order to discover and excavate the fossils. Therefore, there is a need for a support system that automatically detecting fossils. In this research, as the first step of the support system, we developed a semantic segmentation method to recognize the fossil parts exposed from rocks. In general, semantic segmentation by deep learning requires a large number of images. However, the number of fossil images is very small, making it difficult to train deep learning models. In this research, we approach this problem by data augmentation. Specifically, we used images of plant specimens and sedimentary rocks since they are easily available. In addition, we generated images that closely resemble real fossil images from them by using a style transfer method. Then we used this images for data augmentation. Experimental results showed that DeepLabv3+, a representative deep learning model for semantic segmentation, improved the F-score by about 5% compared to that before data augmentation.
