ABSTRACT: Over 8.000 archaeological sites are excavated every year, before the various constractions in Japan.
Archaeologists must draw the archaeological sketch maps about so many archaeological remains and they also need
these maps in good time. Photogrrammetry using film type cameras need much time to make maps. Therefore, we
developed new real-time system to make image maps in the archeological field using Digital Still Camera.
But, Photogrammetry needs one/two weeks to make up Fig.2
1. Introduction
Archaeologists in Japan usualy used flat table method or
grid sketch method in order to make the archaeological
maps. If archaeologists like to measure over 10.000m?,
these methods need so much times and workers. Then, in
last 15 years, archaeologists have used the clese-range
Photogrammetry in archaeological fields.
the maps. Photogrammetry need wet-process to develop
the films and plotting machines for stereo-matching.
Therefore, we developed Digital Still Camera system
instead of film cameras, and also developed Stereo
Matching systems instead of plotting machines. Stereo
Matching systems use only lap-top type personal
computer, therefor, we can use in the archaeological
fields or in the cars.
