Korus — A drone project for visual and IR imaging

Abstract

The focus of the project is to create new approaches to the study of the past through the use of innovative aero-space technologies to measure, analyse and reconstruct the ancient landscape and its remaining natural and anthropic traces. The équipe, based at the University of Padua, is constituted by archaeologists, egyptologists, mechanical and software engineers, physicists and computer scientists and is now active on the proto-historic site of Rozto in Italy. The research includes the analysis of the historical records, as old maps and aerial photographs of the past, field use of drones and the creation of a GIS platforms to collect and see the data all together.
