2025 — Article — WHE080CF8C720

Remote sensing, particularly through Google Earth's high-resolution satellite imagery, proves effective for preliminary surveys of North Korean cultural heritage sites, including the unregistered royal tombs of the Joseon Dynasty. While detailed structures remain challenging to discern, key elements such as burial mounds and platforms are identifiable, offering a non-invasive method for studying inaccessible sites. The study highlights Google Earth's potential as a cost-effective tool but suggests integrating AI-based methods like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to enhance automated detection capabilities in future research.
