EARTH OBSERVATION TECHNOLOGY (EOT) APPLIED TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE AND GEORESOURCES PROTECTION

ENEA’s expertise is put at disposal for image processing and radar and optical images classification procedures applied to the study of local phenomena for the management and protection of archaeological heritage, natural resources (surface and phreatic water, land use) and emergencies (earthquakes, floods, historical centres vulnerability).

Satellite multispectral data processing through the analysis of the related forms and processes allows to produce thematic cartographies for the rational management of the landscape.
