The Virtual Reconstruction and Interaction System of Tomb of Tang Dynasty Prince YiDe

Abstract

We achieve the virtual reconstruction of tomb of LiChongrun who is the Prince of Tang Dynasty and virtual restoration of the frescoes in the tomb by the technology of computer vision and virtual reality. Our goal is to solve the problem of Prince YiDe tomb's structure recovery and falling mural restoration, and improve the efficiency and effect of digital protection of cultural sites. We utilize high-precision photography, digital scanning and 3D model reconstruction to provide complete image information for the tombs. Combining sensory interaction, virtual roaming, image animation and other technologies to enhance the performance in virtual space, we let users have fully immersive experience and offer users a platform to learn the tombs of Tang Dynasty and enjoy the beauty of tomb mural. By this means, we can maximize the recording and dissemination of precious historical and cultural information contained in the cultural heritage itself.
