AB [EN] This contribution discusses the potential of UAV-assisted (unmanned aerial vehicles)photogrammetry for the study and preservation of mining heritage sites using the example of Romangold mining infrastructure in northwestern Spain. The study area represents the largest gold area inRoman times and comprises 7 mining elements of interest that characterize the most representativeexamples of such ancient works. UAV technology provides a non-invasive procedure valuable for theacquisition of digital information in remote, difficult to access areas or under the risk of destruction.The proposed approach is a cost-effective, robust and rapid method for image processing in remoteareas were no traditional surveying technologies are available. It is based on a combination of dataprovided by aerial orthoimage and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to improve the accuracyof UAV derived data. The results provide high-resolution orthomosaic, DEMs and 3D texturedmodels that aim for the documentation of ancient mining scenarios, providing high-resolution digitalinformation that improves the identification, description and interpretation of mining elements suchas the hydraulic infrastructure, the presence of open-cast mines which exemplifies the differentexploitation methods, and settlements. However, beyond the scientific and technical informationprovided by the data, the 3D documentation of ancient mining scenarios is a powerful tool for aneffective and wider public diffusion ensuring the visualization, preservation and awareness over theimportance and conservation of world mining heritage sites.
