Integrazione di dati laserscanning ed iperspettrali per applicazioni archeologiche

This paper deals with the integration of laser and hyperspectral data to improve the discovery of new archeological sites. We investigate the possibility of integrating such dataset in order to evaluate irregular behavior of some major ground indexes. While hyperspectral data allow the identification of specific humidity, vegetation and thermal conditions in the target area, accurate geometric information are provided by laser data. Optech laser and MIVIS and AISA hyperspectral data were acquired over the city of Aquileia (UD, North-East of Italy), an area of great historical interest due to many roman ruins. Significant results where obtained both in already discovered archaeological sites, and in interesting new areas on the northern side of the old city. When integrated, the resulting datasets showed, with sensible accuracy, the probable presence of surface/below surface archaeological elements.
