Proactive Preservation of World Heritage by Crowdsourcing and 3D Reconstruction Technology

Abstract

Since over one million tourists annually visit the Angkor ruins, the effect on the buildings from the vibrations caused by these tourists is a huge problem for maintaining them. Such organisms as bryophytes, which adhere to the surface of the stones of the ruins, is another factor that damages them. Using crowdsourcing and 3D reconstruction technology, we are organizing a proactive preservation project for the Angkor Thom Bayon Temple, which is a world cultural heritage site. We evaluated its damaged parts and visualized the damaged state.Published in: 2017 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data) Date of Conference: 11-14 Dec. 2017 Conference Location: Boston, MA, US
