Airborne lidar data management and homogenization: Training and research in the archaeological interpretation of lidar

A four-day workshop organised by the Université François-Rabelais de Tours, CNRS, and the international ModeLTER institute brought together specialists in exploration and processing of lidar data, archaeologists, biologists, physicists, and forest management experts to present the latest methodological advances and discuss different ways of understanding and integrating the results of lidar surveys. The key themes were the links between human practices (pastoral, forestry etc.) and their microtopographic signatures; data interpretation and management on a regional or national level; advanced data processing; and automatic processing of lidar data. The Slovenian and American partners in the project organised and led six workshop sessions.

Remote sensing for a better future

Different types of remote sensing technologies and techniques are not only expanding our understanding of natural and human phenomena and processes, but are also increasingly shaping our everyday behaviour. Newly available platforms, such as small satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, for example lidar and hyperspectral, as well as open data policies are providing researchers, professionals, policy makers, and the public with unprecedented wealth of information. Remote Sensing Centre hosted by the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Centre of Excellence for Space Sciences and Technologies has been active in the field for 20 years. The talk at the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, USA) presented some of its activities.

Mapping, modelling and visualizing newly discovered archaeological sites in Mexico

This lecture, given at the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville (USA), presented the geodetic work in archaeological surveys recently accomplished in tropical forests in the eastern part of Mexican federal state of Campeche. The work included site mapping with a total station and the generation of final results in the form of 2D and 3D visualizations (site models from the recorded data). Digital elevation models, shaded reliefs, contours and 3D models of individual complexes and surroundings were produced also by photogrammetric procedures.
