Ostia Antica 3D Scanning Project
Ostia Antica 3D Scanning Project
In preparation for the University of Arkansas Honors Colloquium Visualizing the Roman City, CAST researchers collected a large amount of geospatial data at the archaeological site of Ostia Antica. In antiquity, the city of Ostia served initally as a port and military outpost for the Roman Republic, and later as a resort community for Imperial Rome.
The fieldwork conducted in Ostia includes high density survey (HDS) using the Optech 3D laser scanner, photogrammetric-quality digital images, and high definition scans of architectural elements using the Minolta VIVID-9i. These data have since been used to teach virtual reconstruction and visualization techniques to undergraduate students in Architecture, Geosciences, Anthropology, Archaeology, and Classical Studies.
