Project Impact
Detailed heritage surface capture
Reliable records for conservation
Reduced manual documentation effort
Business Requirement
The client, an archaeology team working on an excavation site in Vadnagar, required
detailed documentation of excavated finds along with accurate measurement of
excavation volume across a 5,700 sqm site area.
Proposed Solution
We used drone-based aerial photography combined with high-resolution camera
capture to document the site and findings. To ensure clean, accurate data, all
movement around the site was paused during photo capture. The images were
processed through photogrammetry software to generate precise volumetric data of
the excavation and detailed records of the finds for archaeological documentation.
Challenges Faced
Pits were too deep almost 30meter down and climbing down to each pit was very
risky and honeybees were the main problem in archaeology site.
Outcome
Accurate volumetric documentation of the excavation and detailed visual records of
finds, supporting the archaeology team's research and reporting requirements.
