Remote sensing and geomatics platform
GINYS-ICAC-003
The remote sensing and geomatics facility is coordinated by the ICAC
Computational Archeology research team and supports the archaeological
topography and remote sensing work of the different research groups and
scientific-technical services of the Institute.
This facilty includes a UAV (drones) operator and certified pilots
with the ability to carry out flights throughout the European Union,
even in restricted areas. It give technical support to remote sensing
works, combining different types of sensors (Panchromatic,
Multi-spectral, thermal and LIDAR) and using satellite images, aerial
image repositories and images obtained with the UAVs themselves.
Services
This facility provides advice on the application of remote sensing and surveying techniques in archaeological research. Likewise, staff in charge can carry out all kinds of surveys and graphic documentation to support archaeological fieldwork (including excavations, surveys and architectural studies).
Equipment
- UAV operator, has devices equipped with photographic and thermal sensors
- D-GPS antennas for topography work
- Computer and software equipment for photogrammetry, aerial image processing, technical drawing and professional editing in 2D and 3D
