Abstract
The project described here intends to deal with and analyse the development and potentialities of micro UAVs (micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). In particular, it will focus on the interaction between these vehicles and new multi-image software products, considering the consequences that this system provoked on themethodologyoftraditionalphotogrammetryappliedinthearchaeologicalfield. The purpose of this work is the individuation of the potentialities in the working approach on one side of the UAVsas a mean to acquire metrical information and on the other side of multi-image software products for theprocessingoftheacquired data.Inotherterms,different techniques arecompared andintegrated, inorder tounderstandthepossibilitiesofthisnewmethodology. Finally, the system proposed here has great advantages in terms of versatility, manoeuvrability and costs. Moreover, it is easy to use and produces good results that are interesting as both research and documentation toolsduetotheirrichnessofinformation. In the archaeological field, this system shows its strength as a method to acquire not just metrical data, but also high-resolution images, combining the accuracy on the data acquired, to the potentials of aerial images, usefulforinterpretationanddocumentationpurposes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
