Application of airborne remote sensing for metropolitan area mapping: examples applied to the historical center of Rome

This presentation, taking its inspiration from various theoretical contributions suggested by various proposals, and going beyond the usual explanations and sometimes rash forecasts that the impact of a new technology has on physical space, wishes to underline the most important aspects of the introduction of a new method of studying urban installations, both ancient and modern, which is offered by urban telesurveys. To this end it is proposed, by means of an analysis of a sample area obtained from tele- surveying data provided by an aerial survey, using an advanced system of electronic pictures shot by MIVIS AA500000 of the CNR-Progetto LARA, to reveal and elaborate various findings and thus highlight a quantity and quality of extremely useful data.
