Archaeological Site 3D Drone Mapping | Nuraghe | Sardinia

We discuss our recent visit to a huge unexcavated archaeological site in the territory of Las Plassas (Sardinia, Italy). We generated a series of aerial maps using a DJI Inspire 1 drone with an X5R camera mounting the standard 15mm lens and with the help of an app called DroneDeploy. The maps suggest the presence of cropmarks, i.e. man-made structures surround the site. I will walk you through the mapping process and also discuss how aerial photography can be a great tool for archaeological surveys.

thanks a lot. Do you actually cast swords yourself?

[@SilverHaze89]

Davvero complimenti per questo docu-film, che per contenuti supera abbondantemente la maggior parte dei documentari (per non parlare degli pseudo tali) che trasmettono su tutti i canali tv.
Informazioni preziose, anche sui metodi di ricerca, ed immagini bellissime di questa terra tutta da scoprire.
