A Research and Application of Three Dimensional Digitization Technology for Restore Chinese Architectural heritage from the Thirteen Factories

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study Non-physical historical buildings composed by computer 3D models to enhance the experience of city culture and realize the “digital city” information management. Non-physical historical buildings could be an important core cover a city culture and memory, and main competitiveness of city development as well. The Thirteen Factories of canton was the center of Sino-Western commercial which including the integration of culture and trade. The research methodology mainly adapted on three approach. 1) Interpretation and transformation for historical information at the Thirteen Factories Yi Guan Area. 2) According to 3D modeling and texture processing achieve real virtual recreation practice.3) To discuss the ways of digital technology to restore the Non-physical historical buildings. This paper focuses on relationship of digital technology and historical culture heritage, which could improve the economics transformation of city culture.
