dc.description.abstractThe documentation of historical remains and cultural heritage is of great importance to preserve historical knowledge. Many studies use low-resolution airplane-based laser scanning and manual interpretation for this purpose. In this study, a concept to automatically detect terrain anomalies in a historical conflict landscape using high-resolution UAV-LiDAR data was developed. We applied different ground filter algorithms and included a spline-based approximation step in order to improve the removal of low vegetation. Due to the absence of comprehensive labeled training data, a one-class support vector machine algorithm was used in an unsupervised manner in order to automatically detect the terrain anomalies. We applied our approach in a study site with different densities of low vegetation. The morphological ground filter was the most suitable when dense near-ground vegetation is present. However, with the use of the spline-based processing step, all filters used could be significantly improved in terms of the F1-score of the classification results. It increased by up to 42% points in the area with dense low vegetation and by up to 14% points in the area with sparse low vegetation. The completeness (recall) reached maximum values of 0.8 and 1.0, respectively, when taking into account the results leading to the highest F1-score for each filter. Therefore, our concept can support on-site field prospection.eng
