现代遥感技术在秦始皇陵考古研究中的应用

秦始皇陵考古研究已取得大量成果,但对是否存在西墓道、阻排水渠位置及阻水效果等问题还不清楚。应用现代遥感技术在秦始皇陵区对文物遗存进行探测,对航空全色遥感图像和航空高光谱遥感图像进行数据处理、解释,提取文物遗存信息,发现了封土堆热异常,证实了阻排水渠的存在及其阻水效果,确认了西墓道的存在。与地球物理和地球化学的研究结果进行比较,得到的结论完全一致,证实了遥感方法的准确性和有效性。

Application of Remote Sensing Technology on Archaeological Study of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum

Although many discoveries have been made in Emperor Qin Shihuang's mausoleum archaeology,wether the westward mausoleum passage under the pyramid-shaped mound does exist or not,and the function of the underground drainage ditch is still unknown.Using remote sensing technology,this study explored the distribution of cultural treasures around the Qin Shihuang's mausoleum,interpreted the aerial hyperspectral remote sensing images and aerial panchromatic remote sensing images,extracted the cultural relic information,and discovered the high thermal anomalies of the pyramid-shaped mound and the westward mausoleum passage under the pyramid-shaped mound,and validated the function of the underground drainage ditch.The results are contrasted with geophysical and geochemical data,the conclusions are exactly the same.
