DEPLOYED internal CUT funded project initiated
The project titled "DEPLOYED: Detection of Archaeological Proxies using Low Altitude Systems and Pedological Studies" is an internally funded initiative by the Cyprus University of Technology. This project has recently been initiated with the aim of leveraging innovative technologies and research to enhance the detection and analysis of archaeological sites. By combining low altitude aerial systems, such as drones equipped with specialized sensors, with comprehensive soil studies, the project seeks to identify and interpret archaeological proxies with greater precision. The...May 2024
