The availability of high-resolution Digital Surface Models coastal environments is increasing interest for scientists involved in the study system processes. Among range terrestrial and aerial methods available to produce such a dataset, this tests utility Structure from Motion (SfM) approach low-altitude imageries collected by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). SfM image-based was selected whilst searching rapid, inexpensive, highly automated method, able 3D information unstructured images. In...
Abstract. This study focuses on landslide susceptibility mapping in the Daunia area (Apulian Apennines, Italy) and achieves this by using a multivariate statistical method data processing Geographical Information System (GIS). The Logistic Regression (hereafter LR) was chosen to produce map over an of 130 000 ha where small settlements are historically threatened phenomena. By means LR analysis, tendency occurrences was, therefore, assessed relating inventory (dependent variable) series...
The feasibility of unmanned-aerial-vehicle-based photogrammetry was assessed for the reconstruction high-resolution topography and geomorphic features quarries by nadir off-nadir imagery. test site a quarry located in rural area Turi (Bari, southern Italy). Two processing scenarios were created. Nadir images initially used, acquired with angles added. An accurate set ground control points (GCPs) surveyed both georeferencing purposes validation processes. In surfaces, an accuracy few...
Comprehension of vulnerability to coastal erosion in dynamic environments strongly depends on accurate and frequent detection shoreline position. The monitoring such could benefit from the semi-automatic delineation method, especially terms time, cost, labour-intensiveness. This article explores potential using a approach delineating proxy-based by processing high-resolution multispectral WorldView-2 satellite imagery. We studied differences basic easily accessible standard classification...
This article compares the land surface temperature (LST) and sky view factor (SVF) as indicator of impact urban morphology on heat island effect. For this purpose, work investigates dependence relationship to spatial resolutions varying from coarse very fine related scaling several daytime Landsat 8, Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer airborne TASI-600 images acquired in different months year were used retrieve LST. Moreover, a three-dimensional building vector...
This paper discusses a full interferometry processing chain based on dual-orbit Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B (S1) synthetic aperture radar data combination of open-source routines from the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP), Stanford Method for Persistent Scatterers (StaMPS), additional introduced by authors. These are used to provide vertical East-West horizontal velocity maps over study area in south-western sector Po Plain (Italy) where land subsidence is recognized. The long time series...
The present paper explores the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and three-dimensional geomechanical modeling in investigation instability processes long sectors coastal rocky cliffs. need a reliable detailed reconstruction geometry cliff surfaces, beside characterization rock materials, could represent very challenging requirement for sub-vertical cliffs overlooking sea. Very often, no information be acquired by alternative surveying methodologies, due to absence...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects three dimensional (3D) point cloud density derived from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry (using Structure Motion (SfM) and Multi-View Stereopsis (MVS) techniques), interpolation method for generating a digital terrain model (DTM), resolution (grid size (GS)) DTM on accuracy estimated heights in small areas, where very accurate high spatial is required. A UAV-photogrammetry project carried out 13 m × bare soil with rotatory...
Marine animal forests are benthic communities dominated by sessile suspension feeders (such as sponges, corals, and bivalves) able to generate three-dimensional (3D) frameworks with high structural complexity. The biodiversity functioning of marine strictly related their 3D present paper aims at providing new perspectives in underwater optical surveys. Starting from the current gaps data collection analysis that critically limit study conservation forests, we discuss main technological...
Abstract Talos Dome is an ice dome on the edge of East Antarctic plateau; because accumulation higher here than in other domes Antarctica, preserves a good geochemical and palaeoclimatic record. A new map area locates summit using global positioning system (GPS) (72˚47’ 14’’S, 159˚04’ 2’’ E; 2318.5m elevation (WGS84)). surface strain network nine stakes was measured GPS. Data indicate that stake closest to moves south-southeast at few cm –1 . The stakes, located 8 km away, move up 0.33ma...
Abstract. The extent of coastline urbanization reduces their resilience to flooding, especially in low-lying areas. study site is the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy), historically affected by marine storms and floods. main aim this investigate vulnerability coastal area flooding considering dynamics forcing component (total water level) receptor (urban areas). This was done comparing output three scenarios (10, 100 > year return periods) different future urban growth up 2050. Scenario-based...
This paper discusses the performance of a terrestrial radar interferometer for structural monitoring ancient masonry towers. High-speed interferometry is an innovative and powerful remote sensing technique dynamic large structures since it contactless, non-destructive, able to measure fast displacements on order tenths millimeters. methodology was tested tower great historical interest, Saint Prospero bell (Northern Italy). To evaluate quality results, data collected from were compared...
The scope and scientific purpose of this paper focuses on multiscale (aerial terrestrial) photogrammetry as a support to investigations interpretations in multi-component archaeological site located the Argentinian Cordillera (Calchaquí, Salta), known Tacuil. Due its scarce accessibility, well long-term problems associated with interpretation visibility type settlement, use aerial surveying was combined reconstruction structures complex soil morphologies by resorting modern photogrammetric...
The relationships between hillslope and fluvial processes were studied in a mountainous area of the Northern Apennines (Italy) where intermittent landslide activity has interacted for long time with river morphodynamics. aim study was to analyse such two sites Scoltenna catchment. analysed detail monitored through time. A long-term analysis carried out based on multitemporal photointerpretation aerial photos. Slope morphological changes land use modifications since 1954 detected compared...
Abstract Radionuclides are widely known to produce serious problem when released and dispersed in the environment because they can contaminate humans through food chains, affecting metabolic process causing health diseases population. A large amount of radionuclides is produced as waste during nuclear facility operation, maintenance, decommissioning. Wastewater contains many radioactivemetal ions. During last three decades, after Chernobyl accident then that Fukushima, several techniques...

The 3D reconstruction with a metric content of submerged area, where objects and structures archaeological interest are found, could play an important role in the research study activities even digitization cultural heritage. object, for archaeologists, constitutes starting point classification description object digital format successive fruition by user after delivering through several media. is evaluation site obtained photogrammetric surveying appropriate restitution. authors...
The proper inspection of a cracks pattern over time is critical diagnosis step to provide thorough knowledge the health state structure. When monitoring propagating on planar surface, adopting single-image-based approach more convenient (costly and logistically) solution compared subjective operators-based solutions. Machine learning (ML)- based solutions offer advantage automation in crack detection; however, complex time-consuming training must be carried out. This study presents simple...
