Integration of GPS, Remote Sensing, and GIS for Safeguarding Angkor Monuments  Paper Text

Defining Issue: Integrating real-time differential GPS (RDGPS), SPOT Images, and GIS to positioning monuments and making maps for archaeological researches. Methodology: Keio GIS Lab participates as a member of the Japanese Government Team for Safeguarding Angkor Monuments (JSA). In JSA, GIS Lab is responsible for making GIS data for Angkor monuments for archaeological research and restoration works. A combination of advanced technologies, GPS, remote sensing, videography, and GIS is introduced for the project. In 1996, we have positioned over 100 points in the Angkor area using real-time differential GPS (RDGPS). Submeter accuracy of RDGPS enables geometric correction of SPOT data. It is planned to use Radarsat and World View data in 1997 to obtain higher resolution. Software: PC ARC/INFO and ArcView were used in fields for overlaying maps, SPOT images, and coordinates points by GPS.
