“…The diversity of the contributions in these special issues clearly shows the increasing importance of UAVs or UASs respectively for environmental remote sensing purposes. This importance can also be observed in cultural heritage and archaeological sciences (e.g., [15][16][17]). Monitoring purposes with UAV-based data [18] and habitat mapping approaches from aerial orthoimages [19] have also been realized.…”

Abstract:This article presents an environmental remote sensing application using a UAV that is specifically aimed at reducing the data gap between field scale and satellite scale in soil erosion monitoring in Morocco. A fixed-wing aircraft type Sirius I (MAVinci, Germany) equipped with a digital system camera (Panasonic) is employed. UAV surveys are conducted over different study sites with varying extents and flying heights in order to provide both very high resolution site-specific data and lower-resolution overviews, thus fully exploiting the large potential of the chosen UAV for multi-scale mapping purposes. Depending on the scale and area coverage, two different approaches for georeferencing are used, based on high-precision GCPs or the UAV's log file with exterior orientation values respectively. The photogrammetric image processing enables the creation of Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and ortho-image mosaics with very high resolution on a sub-decimetre level. The created data products were used for quantifying gully and badland erosion in 2D and 3D as well as for the analysis of the surrounding areas and landscape development for larger extents.

“…Also, a uav can be very costly compared with the other platforms. Though, uav's have been proven to work very well in other parts of the world (Verhoeven, 2009;Hendrickx et al, 2011).…”

ABSTRACT:Individual archaeological sites can sometimes show a complex morphology. One such site is the Roman quarries located one kilometre northwest of the Roman fortress at Udhruh, in the hinterland of Petra. In archaeology there are various platforms such as balloons, kites and unmanned aerial vehicles (uav's) from which low altitude aerial photographs can be taken that have been proven to work. All with their specific advantages above others in different circumstances. By designing a very distinct setup for the kite and optimizing the workflow accordingly, an effective and steady platform for the camera was created. The Quarries were photographed from the air and the images then provided enough material to accurately create a 3D model of the site.

“…Today RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) and TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) survey are standard approach to produce high quality point cloud and 3D model in archaeological context with reduced execution times and great metric reliability. The capabilities of RPAS and TLS for the documentation of archaeological sites has been demonstrated in several different case studies (Lambers et al, 2007;Sauerbier & Eisenbeiss, 2010;Hendrickx et al, 2011;Lo Brutto et al, 2012;Guidi et al, 2014;Lo Brutto et. al., 2014;Galeazzi, 2016;Nikolakopoulos et al, 2016).…”

ABSTRACT:Digital documentation and 3D modelling of archaeological sites are important for understanding, definition and recognition of the values of the sites and of the archaeological finds. The most part of archaeological sites are outdoor location, but a cover to preserve the ruins protects often parts of the sites. The possibility to acquire data with different techniques and merge them by using a single reference system allows creating multi-parties models in which 3D representations of the individual objects can be inserted. The paper presents the results of a recent study carried out by Geomatics Laboratory of University of Palermo for the digital documentation and 3D modelling of Eraclea Minoa archaeological site. This site is located near Agrigento, in the south of Sicily (Italy) and is one of the most famous ancient Greek colonies of Sicily. The paper presents the results of the integration of different data source to survey the Eraclea Minoa archaeological site. The application of two highly versatile recording systems, the TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) and the RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System), allowed the Eraclea Minoa site to be documented in high resolution and with high accuracy. The integration of the two techniques has demonstrated the possibility to obtain high quality and accurate 3D models in archaeological survey.
