Data processing

Appropriate data recording software as well as efficient navigation solutions are required for high-speed archaeological prospection. The huge amount of data generated by the remote sensing and geophysical prospection measurements require appropriate data processing and visualization tools. Data acquired with motorized survey systems requires correct interpolation algorithms. New filtering tools for the removal of disturbing noise and for the generation of optimised final data images need to be developed. The effect of the surface conditions and topography has to be taken into account. Different data collected at various scales needs to be merged and integrated into a GIS geo-database prior to archaeological interpretation. Novel tools for data visualisation and exploration of the information in 3D will permit improved analysis.
