Paper published @ Drones
A joint paper from Argyro Argyrou has been published at Drones MDPI. Abstract: Recent improvements in low-altitude remote sensors and image processing analysis can be utilised to support archaeological research. Over the last decade, the increased use of remote sensing sensors and their products for archaeological science and cultural heritage studies has been reported in the literature. Therefore, different spatial and spectral analysis datasets have been applied to recognise archaeological remains or map environmental changes over time. Recently, more thorough object...
First annual meeting
The first annual meeting of the ENGINEER project was organised between the 11th -12th of Sept. 2023, in Limassol, with the physical presence of all advanced partners (UCL, AVEIRO and POLIMI) and the Innovation Hub of the ECoE. The participants had the opportunity to discuss the work carried out so far and planned the future activities of the second year of the projects. Details regarding the interim report, forthcoming training events virtual lectures have been also planned.
At radio press

Internal CUT meeting
Following the previous week tele-meeting a new physical meeting between the CUT member took place in the premises of the university. The scope of this meeting was to further discuss common activities between geomatics and civil engineers as part of the further discussions that will take place next week during the first annual meeting between all partners.
New Tools for Probing Ancient Cypriot Architecture and Landscape
A new joint publication between CUT members, focusing on new advances in image processing that allow fascinating new insights to be gleaned from archived aerial images, and studies of both new and ancient seismic events are giving us a new understanding of the ancient world and how to preserve what remains.

Internal CUT meeting
A tele- meeting was organised earlier today between the CUT members to plan the activities of the forthcoming 1st annual ENGINEER meeting that will take place between 11th and 12th of Sep. 2023 in Limassol. An update of the progress of the ENGINEER project was made by the coordinator of the project, while a discussion was followed to key points raised during the first year of activities of the project.
Success in “Strategic Research Infrastructure” calls
ENGINEER team members have secured a “Strategic Research Infrastructure proposal”. The evaluation result for the proposal submitted under the SMALL-SCALE INFRASTRUCTURES call of the Research and Innovation Foundation was announced earlier today. The “Research and Innovation Knowledge Centre for Engineering in Heritage” proposal, in short CONNECTING, is built around the vision of the “Strategic Infrastructures” research call towards the creation of a knowledge centre equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and platforms, like vertical take-off and...
