Multisensor and multiscale surveying into Pompeii’s archeological site. Three case studies

Within the wider Campus Project, this study focuses on the definition of the geometric multiscale layer, essential for the planning of the multidimensional research activities on the Pompeii area and on archaeological site, particularly. The orography between the Vesuvius and the Castellammare Gulf, and the morphological complexity of the ancient and contemporary cities of Pompeii, guided the application of remote sensing multiple sensors (photo and LIDAR), from the satellite altitude to the architectural scale. From the larger study being developed, this paper focuses on the archaeological site and critically compares the technical and scientific different phases of the integrated digital survey applied to three case studies - the Amphitheater, the Villa of the Mysteries and the Tower of Mercury - which are emblematic for construction and excavation dating, for historical and artistic importance, for material composition, for architectural morphology
