| Title: | Main Title: LIDAR-based remote sensing for archaeological applications |
| Descriptions: | Abstract: The Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) technology, also referred to as LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), represents the most relevant advancement of Earth Observation (EO) techniques applied to archaeological research in the last decade. It allows us to overcome some limits of satellite optical remote sensing in detecting archaeological remains covered by dense vegetation as well as microrelief of cultural interest in bare-ground sites. Currently, a LIDAR survey can be carried out by using two different types of ALS sensor systems: (i) conventional scanners or discrete echo scanners, and (ii) Full-Waveform (FW) scanners. The first one generally delivers only the first and last echo, thus losing many other reflections. The second one is able to detect the entire echo waveform for each emitted laser beam, thus offering improved capabilities especially in areas with complex morphology and/or dense vegetation cover. This paper shows the results obtained by processing point clouds taken from FW scanners for two emblematic study cases in Southern Italy. The first one is the abandoned medieval village of Monte Serico, located on a bare-ground hilly plateau, the second one is the Bosco dell’Incoronata. By using an approach based on the use and processing of different shaded Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), the study allowed us to improve the reconstruction of the urban fabric and the paleoenvironmental setting, respectively.
