Remote Sensing Final Project: Multispectral Image Analysis in Archaeological Applications.
Remote Sensing Final Project Multispectral Image Analysis in Archaeological Applications. Tristan Haroldsen University of West Florida Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing Brian Fulfrost 12/4/2024 Introduction: The consensus of Archaeologists is that we have discovered and documented less than three percent of available Archaeological sites worldwide. This is due in part to the remote nature of many sites, the ever-changing landscape as well as numerous other factors. To cut through these factors Archaeologists are implementing new and improving technologies in the field of remote sensing to rediscover our collective past. While the utilization of remote sensing technologies in the field of archaeology is commonplace the implementation of aerial photogrammetry as well as other remote sensing procedures is often made difficult due to thick forest or vegetation that blankets the terrain. In such cases, technologies such as LiDAR m...
