How drones are helping archeologists reveal the hidden features of archeologist sites

Archaeologists have always known the importance of thermal imagery for gathering information about the archeological sites and artifacts. But as the traditional method of capturing thermal imagery was time-taking, risky and costly so they were always looking forward to using Drones in Archaeology. There are many reasons behind choosing drones in their archeological projects and some of them are the accuracy, preciseness, time saving, cost saving, speedy and less risky. Archaeologists have already begun the use of drones and have successfully gained the required results. Drones are remotely operated and due to this, they have increased their reach to difficult to access areas, giving archeologist a full view of the site and its features.

Archaeologists are utilizing aerial mapping drones mounted with magnetometers, barometers, GRS, sensors and cameras to capture the aerial imagery that can easily let them see what lies beneath the sites. The various ways in which drones are used include aerial photography, aerial videography, aerial mapping, reconnaissance, thermal imagery, and photogrammetry. Drones are also used for site preservation, site monitoring, and sensing. All thanks to the latest technology and innovations that drones are changing the way archeologist previously do their survey. Drones are used for capturing low altitude aerial images of rock alignments, hidden features, and artifacts to accurately map sites.

One of the advantages of using drones for capturing thermal imagery at different spectrum is that they provide high-resolution data and better depth models with preciseness and accuracy. They act as a reliable and robust solution to the surroundings where access is difficult. Not only has this but drones also had the ability to keep an eye on the trespassers or threats that can bring loss to the archeologists. They have the capability to generate on-demand and high-resolution images from elevated positions. When the aerial images of archeological sites captured by drones are processed further for mapping then they give the detailed information about the hidden facts about the sites.

Using the mapping information, archeologists can see what lies under the landscape. They can have a unique insight into the culture and background of the area. However, if you are also willing to use drones for surveying your site and to get the desired output, you need to hire professionals for the job and who could be better than Falcon Eye Drones.
