The Stone Carving Reproduction for the Reservation of Chinese Ancient Architectures

Abstract

Chinese ancient architectures as a kind of historical and cultural heritage, witness the splendid history of civilization and the wisdom of our ancestors. However, they encounter the inevitable embarrassment situation because of accelerating of urbanization. Currently ancient architectures, more or less are suffering from some natural or man-made destruction, therefore, the protection of ancient architectures is particularly important. The preservation and reproduction for carved stone which as an essential part of ancient architectures, has become an attractive topic. But because the process for reproduction of carved stone, can’t be an integrated system. The process become cumbersome, slow and inefficient. This paper presents a method that using modern means such as three-dimensional reverse system combined with robot carving technology to deal with this problem.
