Attention! The official website of the archaeological project of Sultana can be found here. This website is developed to publish some interesting spatial data. Please visit https://geo.hogent.be to learn more about our work.
ALS (Airborne Laser Scanning)
Point clouds are available using entwine. Furthermore, the full datasets are available as compressed LAZ-files (site per site and strip per strip. Rasterized digital elevation models are provided via a WCS. All data are georeferenced in the Romanian Pulkovo 1942(58) / Stereo70 (EPSG:3844), but no point cloud classification has been applied.

MS (multispectral) mapping
In this section, you can find some results of data acquisition using a UAV with a multispectral sensor (DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral). True color composites, false composites, and SVF maps (sky view factor, calculated using unclassified ALS data) are presented using leaflet. All data are available through an XYZ-file service, which can be using in other desktop GIS software as well. The menu below allows you to generate an URL for a specific dataset.

3D Models
Since the start of the partnership between the authors of this website, intensive work has been organized on image-based 3D modelling of the various sites in the region. A small selection of the resulting models is presented here using 3DHOP as interactive model viewer.
