T-LiDAR is used for the recording of the 3D surface of this particular case and provides high resolution 3D digital models. GPR data processing is performed through the novel software tool \u201ctoGPRi\u201d, developed by the authors, which allows the creation of a 3D model of the sub-surface and the subsequent XY images or time-slices at different depths. All these products are georeferenced, in such a way that the GPR orthoimages can be combined with the orthoimages from the T-LiDAR for a complete interpretation of the site. In this way, the GPR technique allows for the detection of the structures of the barracks that are buried, and their distribution is completed with the structure measured by the T-LiDAR on the surface. In addition, the detection of buried elements made possible the identification and labelling of the structures of the surface and their uses. These structures are additionally inspected with infrared thermography (IRT) to determine their conservation condition and distinguish between original and subsequent constructions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10030379","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,1]],"date-time":"2018-03-01T12:15:44Z","timestamp":1519906544000},"page":"379","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Reconstructing the Roman Site \u201cAquis Querquennis\u201d (Bande, Spain) from GPR, T-LiDAR and IRT Data Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9002-3497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iv\u00e1n","family":"Puente","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Defense University Center, Plaza de Espa\u00f1a s\/n, 36920 Mar\u00edn, Spain"},{"name":"Applied Geotechnologies Research Group, University of Vigo, R\u00faa Maxwell s\/n, Campus Lagoas-Marcosende, 36310 Vigo, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1042-4985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mercedes","family":"Solla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Defense University Center, Plaza de Espa\u00f1a s\/n, 36920 Mar\u00edn, Spain"},{"name":"Applied Geotechnologies Research Group, University of Vigo, R\u00faa Maxwell s\/n, Campus Lagoas-Marcosende, 36310 Vigo, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9427-3864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susana","family":"Lag\u00fcela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Geotechnologies Research Group, University of Vigo, R\u00faa Maxwell s\/n, Campus Lagoas-Marcosende, 36310 Vigo, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Cartographic and Terrain Engineering, University of Salamanca, Calle Hornos Caleros 50, 05003 \u00c1vila, Spain"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Sanjurjo-Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD Programme in Protection of the Cultural Heritage, University of Vigo, 36310 Vigo, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.1016\/j.culher.2010.01.006","article-title":"A definition of cultural heritage: From the tangible to the intangible","volume":"11","author":"Vecco","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
