Remote sensing and geomatics platform

The remote sensing and geomatics facility is coordinated by the ICAC Computational Archeology research team and supports the archaeological topography and remote sensing work of the different research groups and scientific-technical services of the Institute.This facilty includes a UAV (drones) operator and certified pilots with the ability to carry out flights throughout the European Union, even in restricted areas. It give technical support to remote sensing works, combining different types of sensors (Panchromatic, Multi-spectral, thermal and LIDAR) and using satellite images, aerial image repositories and images obtained with the UAVs themselves.
