Abstract
Innovation Technologies and Applications for Coastal Archaeological sites project (ITACA) aims to develop and test a management system for underwater archaeological sites in coastal regions. The discovering and monitoring service will use innovative satellite remote sensing techniques combined with image processing algorithms. The project will develop a set of applications integrated in a system pursuing the following objectives:
Search and location of ancient ship wrecks;
Monitoring of ship wrecks, ruins and historical artefacts that are now submerged;
Integration of resulting search and monitoring data with on-site data into a management tool for underwater sites;
Demonstration of the system’s suitability for a service.
The project is leaded by Planetek Hellas E.P.E. and include ALMA Sistemi sas for the “shape detection” and dissemination tasks, DHI-GRAS and Kell Srl for multispectral and SAR bathymetry. The complete consortium is composed by eleven partners and the project Kick-Off has been held in January 2014.
