Joint Interpretation of Various Geophysical Data by Means of Image Fusion in Philippi in Northern Greece

A novel approach to integrating geophysical data at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Philippi, Northern Greece, demonstrates that combining resistance and magnetic mapping with electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and aerial photography enhances the interpretation of subsurface features. The study employed curvelet transform-based image fusion to merge data from multiple methods, resulting in a comprehensive image that provides more useful information than individual techniques alone. This method offers archaeologists a powerful tool for non-invasive exploration and preservation efforts at complex sites like Philippi.
