Archaeology & Heritage

Digitise Heritage. Preserve What Time Cannot. Capture heritage with precision. Measure change over time. Preserve every story as a lasting digital record.

THE CHALLENGE

Heritage records show what exists, not how it changes.

Heritage assets are permanent, but the evidence used to manage them is often fragmented across drawings, photographs, field notes and isolated surveys.

The fundamental challenge is establishing a reliable spatial baseline that can be revisited and measured over time. Subtle settlement, cracking, deformation and surface deterioration may remain difficult to quantify through conventional documentation alone.

Survey-grade UAV, LiDAR and photogrammetric capture can convert complex heritage environments into measurable digital records. This creates a consistent evidence base for condition assessment, change detection, conservation planning and long-term digital preservation.

In detail

Heritage change needs a measurable baseline.

Heritage environments are inherently complex: structures may have irregular geometry, restricted access, fragile surfaces and difficult lighting or visibility conditions. Real change can occur gradually and non-uniformly, while differences in camera position, registration, control or acquisition conditions can appear as apparent change.

A defensible monitoring programme therefore requires consistent georeferencing, repeatable acquisition, appropriate resolution and documented processing workflows. Combining photogrammetry, LiDAR and spatial analysis enables three-dimensional comparison against a defined baseline.

The resulting digital evidence can distinguish measurable deterioration from survey variation and support transparent conservation and restoration decisions.

What we bring

Solutions we bring to heritage

Panovis brings together aerial survey, UAV photogrammetry, LiDAR, GIS and three-dimensional visualisation to create measurable digital records of heritage environments. The approach supports non-contact documentation where physical intervention must be minimised, while preserving geometry, condition and site context in a structured spatial framework. Repeat surveys can be aligned to a common baseline for change detection and condition monitoring. Archaeological features and excavation contexts can be digitally recorded alongside the surrounding site. The resulting information supports conservation authorities, heritage professionals and asset owners with reusable evidence for analysis, reporting, restoration and long-term digital preservation.
