Program
The course offers both theoretical and practical sessions delivered via lectures and hands-on introductions to the different technologies. The fieldwork focusses on the application of the various techniques to a historic monument in the UNESCO world heritage site of Bamberg, and will include on-site introductions by specialists regarding the construction and history of the building. The recorded data will be processed and discussed each day, and the course concludes with a group presentation on the last day of the workshop.
This year’s methods and techniques include:
- Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to investigate and visualise subsurface and interior structures.
- Micro seismic monitoring to detect potential structural weaknesses
- Structure from Motion (SfM) and structured light scanning to visualise objects
- 3D terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) & drones (SfM) for recording architecture
