ITACA - Innovation Technologies and Applications for Coastal Archaeological sites

ITACA (Innovation Technologies and Applications for Coastal Archaeological sites) project aimed to prove a management system for underwater archaeological sites in coastal regions. The discovering and monitoring service used innovative satellite remote sensing techniques combined with image processing algorithms. The project has developed a set of applications integrated in a system that pursue the following objectives:

• Search and location of ancient ship wrecks;
• Monitoring of shipwrecks, ruins and historical artefacts that are now submerged.
• Integration of resulting search and monitoring data with onsite data into a management tool for underwater sites
• Demonstration of the system’s suitability for a service
