Abstract
As the material carrier of historical culture, the digital protection and inheritance of ancient architecture face challenges such as low efficiency of traditional surveying and mapping and incomplete data. This paper takes “Ding Manor”, the first Hakka manor in northern Sichuan, as an example and proposes a digital protection method that integrates 3D laser scanning technology, BIM technology, AI and GIS technologies. High-precision point cloud data of ancient architecture is obtained through 3D laser scanning technology, a parametric information model is constructed in combination with BIM, and AI technology is introduced to realize automatic identification of detailed components and formulation of virtual restoration schemes. Finally, the integration of ancient architecture data is completed by developing a GIS online display and data management platform based on CESIUM technology. The research shows that this technology system can better improve the efficiency of data collection for ancient architecture, meet its data archiving needs, and provide reliable support for repair and maintenance, virtual display and cultural communication of ancient architecture.
