5.3 Pava excavation area, Italy
The heritage area in Pava (ca 60 x 50 m, Fig. 6a) is surveyed every year at the beginning and end of the excavation period to monitor the advances of works, compute the exaction volumes and produce multi-temporal orthoimages of the area. The first 2010 flight (35 m height) was performed with a Microdrone MD4-200 which delivered ca 40 images with an average GSD of 1 cm. The image were then processed in order to produce a DSM at (5 cm geometric resolution) and orthoimages for archaeological documentation and analyses (Fig. 6).
