Potential Results

Obtaining high precision information about the field topography; Identifying vestiges such as walls, which usually have a slight level difference compared to adjacent areas; Digital elevation model (DEM) or digital terrain model (DTM) both from photogrammetry and LIDAR; Simultaneous acquisition of ground images at different wavelengths -Differences in vegetation, which can represent buried walls or ditches; Identification of surface interventions made on the monuments; Identification of archaeological remains; Observing the thermal distribution as well as the thermal stress to which the monument is exposed to; Data correlation in GIS multi-layer package for corroborated data interpretation and superior results evaluation; Systematic long-term measurements for evaluating time degradation (QGIS, BIM/HBIM); High-resolution 3d models; Mapping of archaeological sites; Interactive online/offline 3D models, artistic 2D/3D renders, online/offline virtual tours, 3D prints.
