A rockfall analysis at one of the most relevant cultural heritage sites northeastern Sicily (Italy) is presented herein with aim assessing hazard arising from unstable conditions rock cliff Taormina city, upon which Saracen Castle perched on its top. Several rockfalls affected this area in latest years, representing a serious threat for safety inhabitants and tourists. Therefore, qualitative Evolving Rockfall Hazard Assessment (ERHA) was applied zonation, supported by mass surveys...
One of the fundamental tasks for environmental impact assessment and natural risk management is accurate updated cataloging road infrastructures buildings. This particularly important in volcanic areas, order to predict range damage disruption, therefore losses reconstruction costs that could result from an eruption. GIS allows immediate access spatial data with ability overlay location-based information easy interpretation, providing a critical tool assessing mitigating phenomena. In this...
Forest fires are one of the most dangerous events, causing serious land and environmental degradation. Indeed, besides loss a huge quantity plant species, effects can go far beyond: desertification, increased risk landslides, soil erosion, death animals, etc. For these reasons, mathematical models able to predict fire spreading needed in order organize optimize extinguishing interventions during emergencies. This work presents new system simulate movement front based on free open source...
Abstract. A wide series of events requires immediate availability information and field data to be provided decision-makers. An example is the necessity quickly transferring acquired from monitoring alerting sensors or reconnaissance damage after a disastrous event an Emergency Operations Center. To this purpose, we developed integrated GIS WebGIS system dynamically create populate via Web database with spatial features. In particular, work concerns gathering transmission related desktop so...
Abstract In recent years, the use of remote sensing in archeology has rapidly grown, having being proven particularly useful for landscape archaeology investigations. The quality results obtained through mainly depends on number bands that can be exploited, spatial and spectral resolution imagery methodology used. this work, adopting a post‐dictive approach, multispectral data from World‐View 2 (WV‐2) were used order to detect archaeological features volcanic area Bronte (Sicily, Italy),...
This study focuses on the determination and examination of both Land Surface Temperature (LST) atmospheric temperature in city Catania Sicily (Italy), through freely available satellite remote sensing images from Sentinel-2 MODIS missions. Satellite were processed as raster data free open-source GIS environments. The software allows retrieval, processing for estimation LST with a very coarse spatial resolution. In particular, proposed procedure increasing resolution images, 250 m (LRES) to...
Abstract. The theme of the simulation hydrogeological risk with GIS technology is analyzed focus on modeling architecture a Spatial Data Base to support analysis and construction specialized frame free open source software. For this purpose model vulnerability roads developed by (Cafiso et al., 2002) has been adopted. case study represented seismic land characterized steep slopes frequent instability phenomena. In detail, area interest mountainous in Sicily city, Enna (about 30 000 people),...

The Structure From Motion (SFM) is a technique applied to series of photographs an object that returns 3D reconstruction made up by points in the space (point clouds). This research aims at comparing results SFM approach with laser scanning terms density and accuracy model. experience was conducted detecting several architectural elements (walls portals historical buildings) both scanner latest generation amateur photographic camera. point clouds acquired those photo camera have been...
This paper presents a case study in which Ground penetrating radar (GPR) system consisting of two antennas was used to investigate the condition bridge deck central Sicily. The acquired data were analyzed for identifying asphalt overlay thickness, concrete cover depth and thickness location rebar reinforcement. GPR survey complemented with site investigation on layer thicknesses calibration/verification purpose Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) verify design characteristics (i.e., curvature)...

We propose a new GIS‐based procedure to retrieve archaeological elements using satellite remote sensing. The processing of multispectral images consists in preprocessing phase the pansharpening technique improve spatial quality and exploitation linear equations initial spectral bands with aim generating accurate precise raster data that can be used as input for an object classification. proposed methodology has been tested area located on north‐west flank Etna volcano (Sicily, Italy).
This paper describes a variety of modern geomatics techniques for the detection and survey emerging archeological structures in Sicily. The case study presented this work is related to an archaeological site that lies on north-western flank Etna, highest active volcano Europe. For field survey, we used Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with high-resolution camera GPS ground control points. In addition, produced Digital Surface Model (DSM) several detailed orthophotos detected objects....
This article illustrates the potential of multispectral satellite data for archaeological scope in volcanic area Mount Etna (Sicily, Italy). In particular, by adopting a post-dictive approach, GIS and FOSS technology was used to analyse different indices derived from World-View-2 data. The selected examples (two circular buildings wall-structure) illustrate successes challenges our method. results indicate that NIR-1 RED-EDGE are undoubtedly most useful, while NDVI SRI best performing indices.
