“…False-color multichannel composites were produced either by using the MS datasets for image-based modeling directly or by combining overlapping orthoimages of different wavelengths. Most MS composites where either reduced through PCA [50,84,109] or processed for normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) mapping [50,52,54,56,57,60,[66][67][68][70][71][72]75,76,[84][85][86]97,99,104,109], in order to enhance the contrast between the proxies of buried remains and the landscape matrix. It is worth mentioning that a few studies [50,60,75,86,97,99] reported the use of multiple radiometric vegetation and soil indices to identify which wavelength combinations maximized the local contrasts.…”

Over the last decade, we have witnessed momentous technological developments in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and in lightweight sensors operating at various wavelengths, at and beyond the visible spectrum, which can be integrated with unmanned aerial platforms. These innovations have made feasible close-range and high-resolution remote sensing for numerous archaeological applications, including documentation, prospection, and monitoring bridging the gap between satellite, high-altitude airborne, and terrestrial sensing of historical sites and landscapes. In this article, we track the progress made so far, by systematically reviewing the literature relevant to the combined use of UAS platforms with visible, infrared, multi-spectral, hyper-spectral, laser, and radar sensors to reveal archaeological features otherwise invisible to archaeologists with applied non-destructive techniques. We review, specific applications and their global distribution, as well as commonly used platforms, sensors, and data-processing workflows. Furthermore, we identify the contemporary state-of-the-art and discuss the challenges that have already been overcome, and those that have not, to propose suggestions for future research.

Investigating influence of UAV flight patterns in multi-stereo view DSM accuracy

Current advancements on photogrammetric software along with affordability and wide spreading of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (AUAV), allow for rapid, timely and accurate 3D modelling and mapping of small to medium sized areas. Although the importance of flight patterns and large overlaps in aerial triangulation and Digital Surface Model (DSM) production from large format aerial cameras is well documented in literature, this is not the case for AUAV photography. This paper assess DSM accuracy of models created using different flight patterns and compares them against check points and Lidar data. Three UAV flights took place, with 70%-65% forward and side overlaps, with West-East (W-E), North-South (N-S) and Northwest-Southeast (NW-SE) directions. Blocks with different flight patterns were created and processed to create raster DSM with 0.25m ground pixel size using Multi View Stereo (MVS). Using Lidar data as reference, difference maps and statistics were calculated for each block, in order to evaluate their overall accuracy. The combined scenario performed slightly better that the rest. Because of their lower spatial resolution, Lidar data prove to be an inadequate reference data set, although according to their internal vertical precision they are superior to UAV DSM. Point cloud noise from MVS, is considerable in contrast to Lidar data. A Lidar data set from a lower flying platform such as helicopter might have been a better match to low flying UAV data.

“…The latest allowing checking the site not only from above the surface but also at the height of the monument and at close range. For their intrinsic characteristics of ease of use, affordability, availability and the ability to change the payload, recently, archaeologists have shown a great interest in UAVs as highlighted by recent publications [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] where Fixed-wing [13] and multi-rotor drones [14,15] have become the most used UAV platforms.…”

In recent years, the use of drones in the archaeological field has grown considerably. This growth comes from the possibility of using these Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for topographic surveys, detect the presence of buried archaeological remains and monitoring the conditions of buildings or monuments. The objective of the study will concern the description of MAR (Multipurpose Amphibious Rover) vehicle with the physical principle that regulates its functioning and the possible applications in the archaeological field.
