The
present study belongs in the field of Geoinformation's applications,
that are related with the documentation, management, protection
and promotion of Archaeological sites. The value of these
applications in National and World-wide level is obvious,
because, the essential tools for the continuous follow-up
and management of Cultural Heritage are offered.
The monitoring of the remains of past human activities, especially
when they are of complex form and cover large area, is more
effective when it takes place from the air. The use of the
aerial photography for surveying and documentation of archaeological
sites is well known. The application of digital methods of
processing, often of a large number of aerial photographs,
gives the necessary outputs for the documentation of the historical
sites. Of special interest is the case, where the aerial photography
is used for the location of buried archaeological remains,
which under the proper conditions, are best recognizable viewed
from the air. On the other hand, the terrestrial photos are
more appropriate for the documentation of man made constructions.
The fusion of divers (aerial and terrestrial) data is a very
interesting process because it offers an integrated product.
This project has as object the digital photogrammetric process
of aerial and terrestrial photos as well and the production
of suitable products aiming at:
· The documentation of an archaeological site
· The localisation of buried archaeological remains
· The application of virtual reality techniques aiming
at the study and the analysis of archaeological landscape
and of man-made constructions as well.
Region of study is the Archaeological site of Philippoi Kavala's
in N. Greece
Key words: Photogrammetry, documentation, prospection, visualisation
