Abstract
Abstract. Cultural heritage represents the link between past and present civilizations, contributing to the right appreciation of the present-day by understanding the historical evolution of different human communities that are shaping our world. Preservation of the cultural heritage and mitigating potential risks on invaluable artifacts or objectives is key to conserving the identity of present and future generations. Our complex project is dedicated to monitoring, conservation, protection and promotion of the Romanian cultural heritage. It addresses the challenge of better safeguarding the cultural heritage by developing a multidisciplinary approach.The combined use of Synthetic Aperture Radar and multispectral satellite imagery represent a non-invasive investigation instrument that enable multitemporal analysis, contributing with valuable insights regarding cultural heritage sites. Remote sensing techniques were used to generate geospatial products such as displacement maps, urban sprawl evolution maps, urban heat island maps and many more.For protecting important artifacts, innovative recipes based on nanotechnologies were developed. In order to promote these artifacts, 3D photorealistic models were created using 3D reconstruction technology. For selected cultural heritage objectives, an integrated LiDAR aerial mapping system has enabled the creation of a high accuracy 3D model.This paper illustrates how different technologies, ranging from remote sensing to nanotechnology, could be used for safeguarding and promoting the Romanian cultural heritage and represents a first step in establishing and consolidating a multidisciplinary team involved in this domain.
Highlights
The ongoing complex project dedicated to monitoring, conservation, protection and promotion of Romanian cultural heritage has the goal of bringing together various technologies from nanotechnologies to satellite imagery and close-range remote sensing
The complex project is composed by 4 component projects P1: Monitoring of cultural heritage based on space technologies, P2: Nanotechnology – an innovative approach of developing materials and methods for cultural heritage safeguarding, P3: Integrated cultural heritage management and P4: Cultural heritage promotion based on modern digital reconstruction technologies
The main objective of the complex project is to integrate existing technologies to meet the real needs of archaeologists and safeguarding the cultural heritage sites listed in the project, starting with complex geospatial products and continuing with complex methods of conservation and promotion
Summary
The ongoing complex project dedicated to monitoring, conservation, protection and promotion of Romanian cultural heritage has the goal of bringing together various technologies from nanotechnologies to satellite imagery and close-range remote sensing. The objectives are situated in the historical region of Transylvania, a very important area which includes a large diversity of cultural heritage sites. Geospatial technologies are a powerful tool for monitoring cultural heritage sites in order to protect them from different types of hazards (Agapiou et al, 2015). The main objective of the complex project is to integrate existing technologies to meet the real needs of archaeologists and safeguarding the cultural heritage sites listed in the project, starting with complex geospatial products and continuing with complex methods of conservation and promotion. This paper illustrates several multidisciplinary approaches for a complete management of the cultural heritage patrimony
