Autonomous Aerial Systems in Service of Cultural Heritage Protection from Climate Change Effects

The article reports on both past and ongoing work in such research projects as SCAN4RECO or ARCH, funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020 program. former one concerns multi-modal multi-spectral scanning of Cultural Heritage (CH) assets for their digitization conservation via spatio-temporal reconstruction 3D printing, while latter aims to support better preservation cultural heritage areas from hazards risks, natural human-borne ones. Both have adopted co-creation methodologies help pilot hosts (preservation institutions cities) save effects progressing climate change effects. This included developing disaster risk management frameworks assessing improving resilience historic hazards. Tools been designed local authorities practitioners, urban population, well national international expert communities, aiding knowledge-aware decision making. In this we focus presenting novel approaches performing modelling object geometry using photogrammetric methods autonomous automatic control systems achieving very high model accuracies consumer types devices, attractive professions hobbyists alike. We also present practically remote monitoring weather global scales means possible negative that climatic might pose level speed degradation Heritage.
