Theia: Multispectral Image Analysis and Archaeological Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theia is a software framework for multispectral image analysis. The design is grounded on the object-oriented approach and a model combining parallel computation with selective data processing. Multispectral images from the archaeological site of Aquileia, Italy, have been used as the experimental testbed in order to assess the effectiveness and performance of the system; satisfactory results are reported, and are quite promising towards the use of the framework as a dynamic, interactive interface to real-time data exploration and processing.

We evaluate and further develop a multitemporal fusion strategy that we use to detect the location of ancient settlement sites in the Near East and to map their distribution, a spatial pattern that remains static over time. For each ASTER images that has been acquired in our survey area in north-eastern Syria, we use a pattern classification strategy to map locations with a multispectral signal...

In this paper, the Tasseled Cap Transformation (TCT) was applied to QuickBird multispectral images for extracting archaeological features linked to ancient human transformations of the landscape. The investigation was performed on Metaponto, one of the most important archaeological sites in the South of Italy. The analysis was focused on the identification of ancient land divisions likely relat...
