Mapping Mediterranean origins in 3D

Before the Greeks

From the latin,Medius“中间”和Terra从最初的意义上讲，地中海的“土地”是“地球中间的海”。850米长的地中海岛的莫蒂亚岛（Motya）在东部向西之间的通道相交，是该地区许多古代历史秘密的关键。因此，这个西西里岛是研究历史，贸易，贸易，贸易，贸易的战略点以及在该地区融合的文化混合，即“中海”的瓶颈。

More than 3,000 years ago, Phoenicians spread west in the Mediterranean reaching Sicily and settled in the island of Motya. Recent archaeological investigations, carried out by the Sapienza University, discovered the earliest Phoenician landing berth in Motya dates back to the 8^thcentury BC. Phoenicians lived all around Sicily and gathered in Motya after the Greeks arrived in vast number.

由萨皮恩扎大学（Sapienza University）的专家洛伦佐·尼格罗（Lorenzo Nigro）教授领导，多年来一直在研究特拉帕尼（Trapani）的监督，并在惠特克基金会（Whitaker Foundation）的支持下，这个独特的考古遗址对人，文化和文明的准确假设进行了准确的假设。小岛。基于废墟和遗体已公开，生产maps and 3D models of what meets and escapes the eye正在帮助团队更好地理解和分享该地区的过去。

混合技术记录文化遗产

The Motya 3D Model Pilot Project created3D models of the archaeological findings and the excavation sites to support the archaeological research, both in the field and in the office. The specific goals of this survey campaign were to create the first complete 3D model of the entire island of Motya and the 3D models of six relevant archaeological areas.

大多数调查操作是有时限的;在archaeology, this is no exception. To generate accurate 3D models and capture the survey data quickly to not interrupt the archaeological excavations and the tourist visits, Prof. Mattia Crespi and Dr. Roberta Ravanelli from the Geodesy and Geomatics Division of the Sapienza University of Rome joined the team. To do the survey, the team relied on Leica Geosystems’ Geographic Information System (GIS) collectors, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, GIS application software and HxGN SmartNet satellite positioning service.

“我们得到了该领域的Leica Geosystems团队的支持，该团队直接参与了数据收集。我们对人员和人员的支持感到非常满意。bob综合app下载该领域获取的数据使我们能够生产高质量的3D型号，其准确性从六个考古区域中的几毫米到几厘米，其中包括其中的一些细节以及整个岛屿,” said Crespi.

Images and GPS coordinates were collected to reconstruct the 3D model of the Motya island. Theaerial imagery provided by the HxGN Content Program was used as a basemap for the GNSS measurements。Leica Zeno 20 GIS数据收集器与Leica Zeno GG04加上智能天线一起使用，以收集地面控制点的位置。使用控制点的坐标，该领域的团队可以使用Leica Zeno Mobile Data Collection软件节省更多信息，例如图片，注释和ID。然后将测量的控制点导出为ASCII文件，用于用于摄影测量处理，无人机捕获的图像。

Despite the fierce winds, the two UAVs perfectly captured theimages needed for the photogrammetric processing。Special attention was paid to thesix relevant archaeological areas and the coastline, needed to compute the sea-level projections. HxGN SmartNet was finally used to get the requiredRTK corrections。

All raw spatial data, including the digital images acquired from the UAVs and on the ground, the GNSS data and the surveying measurements were collected and processed through Agisoft software, to create the整个神话岛和单个挖掘地点和相关考古发现的3D模型。

Last but not least, the 3D model of the entire island will also enable, for the first time and in detail, the study of the effects of the eustatism (sea level rise) on the whole archaeological area by experts of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Rome, Italy.

Merging archaeology with geomatics

收集，分析和解释的数据是来自多个学科的专家融合的领域。引用的基础，地图和3D模型是考古领域所有专业人员的关键。文化遗产可以用各种技术记录：

• 移动映射
• Asset collection and management
• 3D laser scanning
• Photogrammetry
• Remote sensing
• Airborne sensors and UAVs
• GNSS
• Utility detection
• Measurement software
• Cloud-based dynamic maps.

“The new needs asked by the archaeological research and the new methodological and technological solutions offered by geomatics remarkably boosted the interaction between two disciplines belonging to different and apparently distant areas during the last decade,”结论结束。
