An Introduction on 3D Laser Scanning, Computer Simulation Technology on Chinese Pagoda Restoration after Earthquake

Abstract eng:
Cultural Heritage Conservation Center(CHCC) in Tsinghua University is a professional organization in the field of cultural heritage conservation in China. By relying on the extensive science and technology platform of Tsinghua University, CHCC always devotes to the new technology on the heritage conservation. On May 12th 2008, W enchuan Earthquake caused considerate damage and destruction to the Pagoda of the Peacock Cavity in Sichuan Province. W decided to use the 3D Laser Scan technology from the beginning of the project. Thus, e through the application of computer simulation technology, the rebuilding tower model enabled us to place accurate assessment on the destruction of the Pagoda and to find out the original location of each damaged component. The tower even can be rebuilt through the model in the computer which prevent disturbing the structure fragments. The technology of 3D Laser Scanning and computer simulation is successful in the preservation of stone. It is a direction for the scientific Heritage Conservation.
