Abstract

In the dissertation it is about Constraints in Visualization with Traditional timbered historic building preservation. Take the pagoda of wooden structure in Yingxian for example, AI and BVR cooperate, a "Gather Information— Create Model—Adjust Scenery" is put forward. It works well in the immersive displays of how to repair a mortise-and-tenon and how to assemble dougong. And improve on interactivity and prediction of danger, help refine the problems build technical talk which is quite practical. At the same time, also recognize some problems related to simplifying models and verifying them practically, then it highlights the need for more accurate models, better simulators, lighter weight software. The framework also facilitates multi-stakeholder communication by providing a shared visual platform for engineers, conservators, and heritage experts. Additionally, it enables non-destructive pre-construction simulations to minimize risks to the original fabric during restoration. It further supports the documentation of restoration processes for future research and educational purposes.
