Processing and interpretation of July 2007 digital visible and near-infrared aerial photographs, coupled by a digital terrain model, has allowed for detailed reconstruction of the topography and the paleoenvironmental setting of the Roman city of Altinum, shedding new light on the far origins of Venice. Images were taken during severe dry conditions, which stressed the maize and soy crops. The city walls and doors, the street network, dwellings, theaters, amphitheater, forum, emporia, basilica, and a complex network of rivers and canals have been mapped.
对2007年7月的数字可见光和近红外航空照片进行处理和解读，并结合数字地形模型，得以详细重建罗马城市阿尔蒂诺的地形和古环境，为威尼斯的遥远起源提供了新线索。这些照片拍摄于严重干旱时期，当时玉米和大豆作物受到影响。现已绘制出城墙与城门、街道网络、住宅、剧院、圆形剧场、古罗马广场、商业中心、长方形会堂以及复杂的河流与运河网络。
