N2 - This paper presents an innovative approach to archaeological and geological exploration, combining Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and advanced robotic algorithms. Utilizing SAR data captured by Capella, the study identifies areas of interest (AOIs) through supervised classification methods. These AOIs are then surveyed by a UAV equipped with GPR, optimized for efficient pathfinding and maximal coverage using robotic exploration algorithms. The survey generates high-resolution radar images, detailed digital elevation models, and orthomosaic images through photogrammetry, providing a comprehensive view of both surface and subsurface features.
