| Project Description | The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey (MAHS) works to systematically inventory and digitally document endangered cultural heritage in the Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand, and elsewhere across the region. The materials documented through this work are critically endangered, facing both natural and human threats that jeopardize the survival and accessibility of historical information connected to the interconnected Indian Ocean world.
The aerial LiDAR data made available here were collected by the MAHS Field Team using DJI Zenmuse L1 LiDAR sensor mounted on DJI Matrice 300 RTK UAV platform. The data were processed by the Digital Heritage Documentation Lab using DJI Terra and exported as a LAS point cloud. This dataset supports site-scale digital documentation, preservation, and future research reuse. | |
