Semi-automatic Detection of Cultural Heritage in Lidar Data

چکیده

This paper presents new methods for the semi-automatic detection of some kinds of cultural heritage in forested areas in Norway, and reports on a work in progress. Some areas have a large number of old pitfall traps that were used for deer hunting 2000-500 years ago. Other areas have a large number of iron production sites that were in use 1400-700 years ago. These two kinds of cultural heritage manifest themselves as pits in the terrain. We have developed methods for the automatic detection of such pits in lidar data with at least 5 emitted pulses per m. We are now extending the automatic detection methods to locate grave mounds, stone fences, and old roads in the lidar data. Experience from on-going archaeological field work clearly demonstrates the benefits of combining automatic detection methods with visual inspection of the lidar data to achieve a map of possible cultural heritage remains, before the actual field survey. The field work can be performed much more efficiently. Since the archaeological feature candidates have already been geo-referenced and measured in the lidar data, the field work is reduced to accepting or rejecting the candidates. Thus, a much larger number of archaeological features can be mapped per day.

Integration of Visible Image and LIDAR Altimetric Data for Semi-Automatic Detection and Measuring the Boundari of Features

This paper presents a new method for detecting the features using LiDAR data and visible images. The proposed features detection algorithm has the lowest dependency on region and the type of sensor used for imaging, and about any input LiDAR and image data, including visible bands (red, green and blue) with high spatial resolution, identify features with acceptable accuracy. In the proposed app...

POINT CLOUD MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN CULTURAL HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION Heritage BIM on the Move

Building information modelling (BIM) is becoming a useful approach in the documentation and enhancement of historical structures in a system termed historical BIM (HBIM). It is not easy to convert point clouds into a 3D model since the buildings concerned often have very irregular geometry. Therefore, more semi-automatic parameterisation tools are needed. Portable, user-navigable HBIM databases...
