Abstract 

This study focuses on the creation and analysis of a Digital Surface Model (DSM) for the historical and cultural reserve "Ancient Zvenyhorod" using data obtained from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and airborne lidar. The objective is to accurately map and understand the topographical features of the reserve, which is significant for both archaeological research and heritage conservation. Using high-resolution UAV aerial photography and advanced airborne lidar technology, this research aims to capture detailed elevation data. The integration of these technologies allows for the generation of a comprehensive and precise DSM, which can reveal subtle landscape features that are not visible through traditional survey methods. The study includes the processing and analysis of the collected data to identify any hidden structures or features, assess the current state of preservation, and provide valuable information for future archaeological and conservation efforts.
