Fig. 1: Original oblique photo of an archaeological 
site, taken by O. Braasch (1991) 
  
Fig. 2: Digitally geometric rectified oblique 
photo of an archaeological site 
In figure 2 is shown the corresponding result of 
a digital geometric image rectification, 
including the resampling of the digitised image 
of figure 1, see also Wester- Ebbinghaus 
(1986). 
As a final product the edge enhanced situation 
of the archaeological texture, as already 
available in digital, easily can be transformed 
into existing maps or GIS (MIS) systems, see 
chapter 4.2. This program operationally runs 
on a Sun 5 Workstation and is in the stage of 
PC adaptation. In addition a low cost software 
- version for the transformation of 
archaeological texture into existing maps and / 
or GIS (MIS) data, based on vector-data, 
exists at the Institute for Photogrammetry of 
the University of Hannover.
