Aerial Investigations Corroboration for Archaeology and Monuments

This paper presents the applications and improvements that aerial investigations bring to the cultural heritage. These techniques can be used for archaeology (to identify or to map archaeological remains) or monuments (to analyze their conservation status). As a case study, data gathered at the Monumental ensemble "Calea Eroilor" from Romania are presented. The investigation was conducted using a thermal camera, LIDAR, a high resolution camera and a multi spectral camera mounted on a 8 propellers UAV. The data is corroborated as layers in a pack using a GIS software.
