Overview

The book derives from the experiences of the authors as lecturers and tutors at different international summer schools on reality-based surveying and 3D modelling in the field of archaeology and cultural heritage. The book is organized in three mainsections. The first part aims to introduce and discuss the contribution of geomatic techniques in archaeology and more generally in cultural heritage with particular attentions to the 3D domain. The second part is focused on the main areas involved in the implementation of 3D surveys (aerial and terrestrial LiDAR, photogrammetry, remote sensing), 3D documentations, GIS and 3D interpretations (virtual and cyber archaeology). The last section collects some relevant case studies showing the extraordinary contribution that geomatic techniques can give to archaeological research and cultural heritage at different scales of detail: object, site, landscape.

Author Information

Fabio Remondino received his PhD in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in 2006 from ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where he worked until 2007 as research assistant. Since 2007 he has been based at the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) of Trento (Italy), where he leads the 3D Optical Metrology (3DOM) research unit. His research interests focus on automated data processing, sensor characterization and integration, as well as information extraction from image and range data. He has authored more than 100 scientific publications in journals and peer-review conferences, and he acts as reviewers of many Geomatics journals. He has organized 20 scientific conferences and 12 summer schools for knowledge and technology transfer. He is now serving as President of the ISPRS Technical Commission V on 'Close-range imaging, analysis and applications', President of the EuroSDR Technical Commission I on 'Sensors, Primary Data Acquisition and Georeferencing', and he is a member of the Executive Board of CIPA Heritage Documentation. Of the many projects and heritage sites he has worked on, particularly memorable have been Pompeii, Paestum, Copan, Etruscan Necropolis, Bamiyan, Machu Picchu, Jerash, and Angkor Wat. Stefano Campana since 2006 he has been a faculty member of the University of Siena (Italy), in the Department of History and Cultural Heritage, where he has been engaged in teaching and research as Lecturer in Ancient Topography. He is specialized in landscape archaeology, remote sensing, GIS and mobile mapping. His work is focused on the understanding of past landscapes from prehistory to the present day, with particular emphasis on Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The principal context for his work has been Tuscany, but he has also participated in, and led research work, in the UK, Turkey, Palestine, and Turkmenistan. He has been very active in organizing international conferences, summer schools and has given seminars and lectures at numerous universities including Durham (UK), Berkeley (USA), Stanford (USA), Duke (USA), Beijing (China), Ghent (Belgium), Saragossa (Spain), and Port-au-Prince (Haiti). In 2011 was proposed and admitted as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London (FSA), and in 2012 he was invited onto the General Management Board (GMB) of HIST, the Governing Board of the International Centre on Space Technologies for Natural and Cultural Heritage, under the auspices of UNESCO and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
