Abstract

For the enhancement of secondary archaeological sites, it is essential to provide intervention methodologies that reduce biodeterioration and allow fruition of the cultural heritage. One of the problems that afflicts minor archaeological sites is the presence of spontaneous vegetation (especially ruderal). In this work, we present the project of a weeding system that makes use of the methodologies used in precision agriculture. It is planned to use a drone for the identification of weed vegetation and for the administration of targeted quantities of herbicides. Furthermore, with the use of a multispectral sensor it is possible to monitor the effectiveness of the treatments.
