Telerilevamento di prossimità: acquisizione ed elaborazione di immagini multispettrali

This paper presents the results of a research that involves the experimentation of the analysis of data acquired by a multispectral camera transported by a drone and their reading and interpretation in the context of archaeological diagnostics, through the extraction of vegetation indices. The first part deals with the methodological issue of the research, with reference to monthly repeated flights during a year in the urban centre of Veii (RM). The methodological aspects highlighted refer to the influence of the presence of meteoric water in the soil and the timing of root growth for the correct reading of the NDVI index. In the second part, however, a series of targeted tests in Latium and Etruscan centres are presented.
