"Ciao Gabriele,
If yo...and here is the answer<br /><br />"Ciao Gabriele,<br />If you plan to buy an open source UAV, than give a look also to the ArduCopter project (http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/), LGPL licensed. I think you could find also "ready to fly" solution (do not understimate the time you need to build a drone and expecially the time you will need to learn how to fly).<br />Regarding the software you suggest:<br />MultiSpec seems very nice, but unfortunately it seems to be a freeware (like it is reported on the official website: "A Freeware Multispectral Image Data Analysis System") and not open source or free software (we could not insert it in ArcheOS...). Anyway, from what I see on the link you posted, it should be possible to do all this kind of analysis in GRASS.<br />BASP is a nice software, but (untill now) I could not find the license or the source code. What it is possible to download from the official webpage is just a binary code for Windows, so it seems to be a freeware (like it was the old BASP for DOS). Also in this case we cannot insert it in ArcheOS. Another software like this is Stratify (which is also suggested in BASP website), but like it is written in the license: "This Software is owned by Irmela Herzog. <br />Therefore you must not sell, rent, lease, modify, <br />translate, or sublicense the Software, media or <br />documentation. You acknowledge that the Software <br />in source code form remains a confidential secret <br />of Irmela Herzog and therefore you agree not to <br />modify the Software or attempt to decipher, <br />de-compile, disassemble or reverse engineer the <br />Software, except to the extent applicable laws <br />specifically prohibit such restriction." Unfortunately we cannot consider these applications for ArcheOS.<br />The last link you reported is interesting. Also in this case we have to see which applications are FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) and which are simply freeware. I will check as soon as possible.

Alcuni giorni fa lo volevo consigliare per inserirlo nella prox versione di ArcheOS, ma al momento è solo per Windows."<br /><br />Infine segnalo questo link in cui sono elencati una serie di software per archeologi (molti dei quali open, tra cui Basp, QGis ecc.):<br />http://www.bajr.org/bajrresources/software.asp<br /><br />CiaoLuca Bezzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679160024950021679noreply@blogger.com
