Draping of aerial photographs on DTM LiDAR for the historical reconstruction of the vicus of Aequum Tuticum along the Via Traiana

Paola Guacci, Rosanna Montanaro

Abstract

This paper focuses on the lack of detailed coordinate references that consider also the altitude (z) as a recurrent limit of the historical aerial photography. Within the study presented in this paper, we show the "draping" process, using a merged, georeferenced triple stereoscopy image, and a high resolution LiDAR DTM with the aim to obtain a running association of the factor z to a historical airborne photographs. The territory chosen for this study is the area occupied by the roman vicus of Aequum Tuticum, on the oriental side of Campania region (Italy), where several aero-topographical and geophysics studies have been done by the LabTAF of University of Salento. This process, adopted in this territory for the first time, let to insert the surveyed archaeological evidences in the exact geomorphological context and to calculate the slope that influences the various reconstructed roman roads.
