Study on the Reconstruction of Ancient Great Wall of Shanhaiguan Area

摘要

As a synthesize technology, has been springing up in the end of 20 century, Virtual Reality technology integrates several latest information technology such as computer graph, artificial intelligence, Multi-media, Sensor surveying and parallel processing technology. Virtual Reality technique provides a new interface tool and interactive operation environment and immersive environment for the representation and real-time simulation of large-scale virtual scene. In Hebei Province, northeast of China, Shanhaiguan Great Wall preserved in good condition, and it has historic research and appreciation value. This paper presents the research works, such as build 3D terrain and scene model of existent old castle at Shanhaiguan region based on the 1:50,000 scale DEM, high resolution Quickbird image, historical records and pictures on the sport, and attempt to reconstruct of ancient Great Wall and old castle scene at this region. The research works indicates that Virtual Reality technology integrated the data of remote sensing and correlative information will provide a new tool and verifying methods in archaeology. By viewing the Virtual scene and interactively controlling the models in the scene, archaeologist can study the historical change of the Great Wall and the surrounding environment.
