Re‐production of Digital Cultural Heritage and Acquisition of Two Dimensional Drawing Maps for the Cultural Heritage by the Reverse Engineering Technology

Abstract

After the ‘Guidelines for the preservation of digital heritage’ were published by UNESCO, interests in the fabrication of digital cultural heritage have been increasing throughout the world. The present study was intended to fabricate digital cultural heritages for existing culturalpropertiesusing the reverse engineering technology and obtain two‐dimensional drawings. Jinju Castle Gongbukmun, which is a cultural property, was selected as a study subject and 3D modeling of Jinju Castle Gongbukmun was conducted by implementing 3D scanning and processing the point cloud data. Using the Gongbukmun 3D model (3D‐Gongbukmun) made as such, requirements as a digital heritage were reviewed and 2D drawings of Gongbukmun such as front views, ground plans, and side views could be prepared.
