Services

Advanced remote sensing technologies delivering actionable insights for archaeological research and architectural heritage conservation

Remote Sensing & Spatial Analysis

Multi-platform remote sensing combining satellite (multispectral, hyperspectral, SAR) and drone-based sensors for archaeological site detection and landscape analysis. Time-series analysis reveals settlement patterns, land cover changes, and subsurface features invisible to the naked eye. From thermal imaging for buried structures to radar penetration through vegetation, we deploy the full spectrum of sensors to uncover hidden heritage.

3D Documentation & Digital Reconstruction

High-precision photogrammetric modeling for monuments, archaeological sites, and underwater heritage. Our terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry workflows produce millimeter-accurate 3D models supporting restoration planning, structural analysis, and digital preservation. We document everything from standing architecture to submerged ruins, creating permanent digital records of threatened heritage sites.

Geospatial Data Visualization

Interactive web-based mapping platforms transforming spatial archaeological data into accessible visualizations for research, heritage management, and public engagement. Our custom GIS solutions integrate excavation data, finds distribution, stratigraphy, and predictive models into intuitive interfaces. We make complex archaeological datasets explorable, shareable, and understandable.

Landscape & Environmental Analysis

Vegetation monitoring, phenology analysis, and environmental change detection applied to archaeological prospection and heritage site vulnerability assessment. We use spectral signatures to identify crop marks over buried features, track vegetation encroachment threatening monuments, and assess climate-related risks. Our environmental intelligence supports both site discovery and long-term heritage conservation strategies.

Spatial Analysis

Dhofar Pastoral Landscapes

Multi-temporal satellite analysis combining geochemical ground-truth data with hyperspectral and multispectral imagery to reconstruct past land cover and pastoral land use patterns in Oman's Dhofar region. Time-series analysis of vegetation indices reveals ephemeral archaeological features invisible in single-date imagery.
