Collegamento Ferroviario Aeroporto – Stazione centrale di Olbia: una prima sperimentazione di sensoristiche integrate da drone in VPIA

Abstract

Constant detection and monitoring of archaeological sites has always been an important national goal for many countries, which recognize fundamental the prior identification of archaeological evidence buried for the preservation of heritage. Since the first applications, archaeologists have grasped the potential of using drones to automate data collection of exposed archaeological evidences. But now the technological evolutio allowed to see archaeological buried structures below the ground surface. Until recently, real great obstacle is envisioned by high cost and technical barriers represented by large-scale data
implementation and collection. The recent advances in thermal imaging, depth imaging, drones and artificial intelligence technology have reduced costs and improved the quality and volume of data collected and processed. This article proposes a case study where different sensors were combined for the archaeological evaluation of a large area.
