Abstract:Compared with traditional remote sensing technologies, hyperspectral remote sensing has a great number of bands from visible to thermal infrared range,it presents a combination of image and spectrum.Normally,ground information of historical relics is not distinct.Contrasted to traditional remote sensing,hyperspectral remote sensing has more advantages in identifying the unclear ground information of historical relics and quantitative research.But at present,hyperspectral remote sensing still has not got effective utilization in archaeology according to our literature review.Taking Qinshuhuang's Mausoleum as an example,this stuey systematically explains these innovative application research results of hyperspectral remote sensing technology in archaeology.These results can be as a successful trial research achievement of hyperspectral remote sensing in archaeology and other new breakthroughs in Archaeology of Qinshuhuang's Mausoleum area by remote sensing such as the discoveries of high thermal anomalies of the Pyramid-shaped Mound,westward mausoleum passage under the Pyramid-shaped Mound,and the function of the Drainage Ditch.A set of effective archaeological remote sensing methodology is explored in this study,which will be beneficial to the application of hyperspectral remote sensing technology in archaeology.
