UAV (Unmanned Aerial Veicles). Possibili utilizzi per il monitoraggio dei beni architettonici e paesaggistici

For over ten years UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have been the object of research of many scientific disciplines, in an effort to test their potentialities in different sectors, in connection to the metric and physical survey of objects of difficult accessibility. The approval of regulations for the professional use of such devices has, since last year, enabled to effectively define the actual possibilities of employment in the field of territorial survey and monitoring. The limited distances of acquisition that such devices allow for open up a range of possible applications, also within the broad scope of the monitoring of Cultural Heritage with specific reference to single buildings, urban centres, landscape heritage and archaeological sites. Monitoring is an essential action for the proper conservation policy of Cultural Heritage and a preliminary action for any intervention project on it.
